I was going to record it but my phone isn't an up to date one really. It's not a smart phone but yeah I believe it can be used as evidence!

Shame you did not record it then, if someone is going to declare you fit for work they need to specialise in your area of problem, better than your GP can, these assessors are generalised and know something about most things, but not enough to make a decision, like a RGN can't assess a mental illness like a psychiatrist can etc etc.

Good luck - invest in a smart phone!

Good luck with the withdrawal of codeine. So many people under estimate how quick and easy it is to get addicted to prescription drugs.

Drugs-forum.com may help you with your journey if you need information or support.

Thank you very much.

Please don't get addicted. It will ruin your whole life! All I got from Docs was co codamol 30mg. Been going years about my back but every time they just write a script. Never sent for a scan or the like. Legal drug dealers is what they are! Just my opinion of course.

I will not get addicted, never use over the amount prescribed. I know its a awful thing to get a drug addiction, at first i was throwing up, thought i was dying for real, but within a week i had settled down and now the Oxycodone just boringly does its job, i get nausea sometimes, no appetite and confusion sometimes, but the pain killing is worth the weird side effects.

WeeDave, feel sorry for you but as usual the anti benefits buffoons started baiting you. They make remarks without knowing the full facts and think that anyone on benefits is a scrounger, who knows maybe karma will kick in and let them know what it's like to be jobless or even suffer an illness that prevents you working and then find out how awful life on benefits really is.

That's good that you're not addicted. Shame about the side effects.

Oh, and which area do they specialise in?

WCA are carried out by healthcare PROFESSIONALS, of which an RGN is one.

they are not carried out by healthcare specoialists

What type of withdrawl was it? when it comes to drugs (or drink) never come off cold turkey as your body has become so used to the product it stops producing its own chemicals it got from whatever you took hence going into withdrawal as its now missing vital chemicals for body functions.

You are meant to cut down at a level that your physical and mental sides can tolerate so both stop the cravings and want less till your body is used to having little to none.

It also drops the chance of relapsing hugely as you wouldn't have to worry about taking one in an emergency and getting addcited again.

Its a similar process even for cigarettes which is why people often fail, they are so used to the habit.

Tapering as recommended by doctor. It was horrible and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I had two ops. Both times I was in hospital for a week afterwards. It's usually a day case but not for everyone.

I think we are talking about different ops. Mine was a TVT (look it up)

Off topic I know...
One of the dangers of the written word (text, forums etc) is the intonation is lost. So how the writer of a comment heard it in their head when they wrote it is different to how someone may read it. When speaking to someone you can hear the voice and it gives you a clue how it was meant, but that's lost on Internet.

Just my tuppence worth - but that's why I think there are so misunderstandings.

Will stop rambling now.
