been waiting three months for a pain clinic appointment, another two months to go… pain’s sitting at 5-6 most days and i’m at work every single day. admin work, so it’s physical - moving boxes, stairs, standing a lot. everyone says “pace yourself” but you can’t pace when your job isn’t flexible… the waiting is getting to my head way more than the pain is, honestly. like i know the appointment exists and help is coming, but the limbo is rough. part of me is wondering if i’m supposed to be doing something different right now. cutting hours?
taking leave? or is this just… what people do, work through it, wait it out? curious if anyone else worked through the waitlist or if you ended up making bigger changes… how long was your wait, and did the clinic actually help?
