"i visited dr with back pain, pain was so bad I could not sit down in consultation room. I had severe back pain 5 months ago and had tried to get on with things however again just before visit to Gp I had had deliberating pain once more in lumbar region which took me off my feet. Upon visiting the Dr, whom diagnosed me with a pulled muscle told me to keep active and prescribed zapain a codeine based drug that should only be prescribed for 3 days due to addiction, he gave me 100tablets. I stated that I thought this pain was a little more serious than a pulled muscle (I have been a nurse for 20years and have some idea of a pulled muscle pain). The junior Dr proceeded that his father had severe pain with a pulled muscle and that is what he would be treating me for. I subsequently organized a lumbar Ct privately and thank god that I did.....it showed that I actually had 2 slipped discs. After A telephone call with the Dr explaining that I had 2slipped discs and was still in excruating pain he gave me a sick certificate to return to work on light duties after one week. This is a complete worry as being a nurse and not being able to sit or stand for more than 30mins without severe pain, I am not quite sure what light duties he expected me to be doing further more by returning to work so soon I felt that I would be putting myself at risk of further damage. From this whole experience I am thoughrougly disappointed and concerned and worried that this junior Dr is giving out such advice. I felt I wasnât taken seriously in the consultation room or indeed at the follow up phone call. I will be making a formal complaint also as in my 20years of nursing I certainly would not give advice to someone to return to work (even on light duties)after them telling me they had 1slipped disc let alone 2."
