Hi all,
I am really getting fed up of feeling the way I do. I was referred by my GP in January to CMATS due to xray identified bilateral degenerative (wear and tear) to hips. I am approaching 47 years of age.
Today I was seen in cmats clinic. I couldn’t believe what the Dr suggested this pain was; fibromyalgia of everything. I wanted to cry as nobody seems to have a clue. Yes I agree the symptoms are very similar but as I told him I wasn’t convinced it was fibromyalgia as I was perfectly fine prior to chemoradiation. I walked miles, I jogged, and rode horses. I can no longer jog or horse ride. Walking up stairs I am in total agony.
Sitting in the car after the appointment, I just couldn’t believe what the Dr said therefore, I phoned the Christie hospital in Manchester. I am in North Wales and not getting anywhere and as they are the specialists in anal cancer I gave them a call for information and they informed me they have a late side effects clinic.
So I had to call the oncology team that I have been discharged from to ask if they will refer me to the Christie. I am crossing everything that they will. This is having a negative impact on my quality of life and getting me down.
The Dr is referring me for a nerve conduction test. He tested all reflexes today but just said I was very flexible (I do have hyper mobility) but didn’t mention the reflexes.
