I Have Had Severe Back Pain For Months My Oncologist Has Not Offered Me Any Treatment For It.Why?
This back pain is really debilitating,in fact it is making my life a misery.I keep telling the doctors about it but nothing ever seems to get done about it.Some days it is so bad it almost brings me to tears.I don't know what else to do,i try so hard to stay positive but this continuous pain makes it so difficult.It makes me wonder whether it is worth it.Sorry to be moaning all the time,but i really am on a downer at the moment.
