Constant Pain

Hi all,

So heres the short story. Back in september 2020 i woke up one day with neck/shoulder ache, i thought nothing off it but since then to this day the pain has progressed and is becoming worse. doctors have tried physio and tabs (codine,baclofen, tramodol and now amitroptilyne) all to no help to the pain. The doctors dont seem concerned but i am very concerned as the pain is constant it goes into my neck and now am getting constant dull aches in my lower back, pains in the neck, arms and sometimes legs. my skin on my cheeks (face) lol has become red and irratated for months which i feel is due to this pain/a side effect - as well as irregular/constant heavy bleeding every 10 or so days . does this sound familiar to anyone The doctors dont take me seriusly even though i have sobbed down the phone in pain, just say its musular and will eventually go away but it really isnt :( its affecting my daily life being in constant pain, feeling very low
