Hello, I am relatively new to the groups, though have read some inspiring things from folk. So Hello. I have been recommended 'Pain Clinic' due to chronic low back pain, originally being treated for Auto immune disease but has since been changed to Degenerative Disc disease. Although I am happier to NOT have one disease I don't know much about pain clinics and fear it can lead to operations when I first want to understand my new position. I follow physio therapy and swimming and walking for more than a year now, good diet, not over weight. Any tips on what to expect at a pain clinic. Much appreciated. Tks. Best wishes one n all.
