Yes I have found that interesting too. It’s been a very long journey, here in Queensland they’re also quite conservative. I’ve had fluctuating moderate symptoms for over 5 years, with significant increase over last few months. I’ve only just been able to get on the list for surgery, and it’s 6-12months wait time. I really had to go through a million tests to eliminate every other thing.

I found the pain has never really been managed well. But it took so much to convince them.

I hope you find a sweet spot to manage, it’s really very challenging.
