hello my name is rob 9 months ago i damaged my spine and went into spinal spasm i was taken to hospital

and they didnt help me at all i had secretion accident and they told me to leave hospital with bag of meds after leaving me

sitting in my own secretion for 20 mins or more i couldnt move to get any one i was let out of hospital

took me nearly 15 mins to limp to taxi i got home and few days later i must have become a burden as my ex partner said leave

 

 

i lost my job my work van my car my home my step children and went onto streets in spinal spasm and no money

i slept in various doorways and one night got so cold and in pain an ambulance came and again all they did was give me

a blanket and water to drink and told me to go to macdonalds to warm up

 

I went to brighton onto the streets and then returned to tonbridge where i cryed out on facebook for help an old friend said i could stay with them i arrived in maidstone Kent and i registered with the local doctors i saw a doctor and he gave me meds naproxen and co dydramol before thsi tramadol and co codamol and algesal cream anyway i saw another doctor and the minute i walked into his office in exstram pain he just kept saying get a job get a job but gave me meds again and refused sick notes he then put it on the system i can work even though i cannot walk very far and cannot even mop a floor or bend with out severe pain in cosix and lower back

I am not quite sure what help you are asking for ?

 

Could you clarify please ?

[lostboybob]

sorry im not sure what to do as im housebound and doctors will not give me sick notes etc is there anything i can do

[citizenB]

I am not sure if there is anything that can be done. Have you asked to see another GP within the practice ? If you are housebound, then you should ask for a home visit.

[lostboybob]

i have seem every single doctor in the practice

[lostboybob]

no one should be expected to survive on no income at all and i cant claim jsa as im not fit to work etc and cannot walk very good etc and knocked out to sleep on heavy meds

naproxen 1000 mg and co dydramol 4000 mg

[citizenB]

So are you not entitled to JSA or anything at all ?

[citizenB]

Perhaps it might be worth telephoning your local council and ask to speak to a Welfare Rights officer ?

[lostboybob]

have had no money at all since june as now esa claim has been suspened i cannot claim jsa as im not fit and seeking work etc i dont have a phone or any money and im house bound im pretty lost what to do

As you are in Maidstone, pay a visit to: http://www.homelessinmaidstone.org.uk/ - By the sounds of it, a sympathetic ear along with some advice relevant to the area is what you need as a starter.

Then I think you are going to have to search online for email addresses and send emails !

[lostboybob]

thank you for your help much appreciated

[citizenB]

 

Something else you should consider is going back to the GP and insist on being referred to the hospital orthopaedic department for a second opinion.

 

Some more advice.

Missed that bit,Thanks

That's a problem I cant see anyway round,unless you try and change GP.

 

Even then you can't force a GP to issue a sick note !

Dear op,

 

I am sorry to hear about what happend to you but where you staying now? you mentioned you was on the streets and now you housebound? are you in a hostel? or a flat? if a flat how can you manage with no income? are you getting housing benefit for your rent? if so how can you get housing benefit without no income?

Hi lostboybob, Did the hospital tell you what part of your spine was injured. How often are your muscles going into spasm and have your doctors given you any medication for this. You said that there was a problem when you went into hospital with what you called secretions has this happened again since leaving hospital? If it as then you must visit your GP again and tell him.
