...painkiller for a codeine-based product, and to give me a steroid injection into the joint. Now this is when I had a real foot stomp. You see apart from the side effects of codeine (which I wont bore you with here because that’s a different op’ this medication can become addictive. As I’d had analgesia for 3 years with no improvement I argued I didn’t want an addiction to prescription painkillers as well but a diagnosis and a long-term treatment plan. So I stuck to my guns and requested an orthopaedic consultant’s opinion.
Whilst waiting for my appointment (now come on, be realistic, pain is not nice but it doesn’t kill you so it’s not an NHS priority) I struggled to find ways to cope. After buying enough tins of Ralgex to cause the chemist to wonder if I was using it or inhaling it, and making my...
