Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
Where can I find a GP with understanding of nerve pain in Drouin, Berwick, Pakenham area?
For over 15yrs I've suffered daily headaches from a car accident. I have 2 bulged disc in my neck, currently crushing nerves down my left arm with constant muscle twitches and spasms, losing feeling in 3 fingers, left hip, knee and ankle pain. I have done everything from acupuncture to surgery options, and the odds for surgery have never been an option as a single mum and recovery time. I haven't seen a GP in over a year and suffered greatly as the area I've moved from the GPs were very unwilling to help, treat, or even listen, and more often than not I'd have to request the medicine or treatment I needed, and in return be made to feel like an addict looking for a hit. I'm looking for a doctor that treats and understands nerve pain, who treats patients as individuals and not a statistic. I am a personal trainer I'm fit healthily and look after myself, medicines I've found that helped were Endep. P/Forte. And twice I used 2mg patch. Anti inflammatory ones make my bowels bleed.
