Jan. 30, 2022 – In Greater Manchester, some felt their final hopes of eventually getting their treatment evaporate at the start of this month.
Health leaders announced that most surgeries would be cancelled as the Omicron wave has grounded swathes of the workforce testing positive or having to isolate.
Patients living with painful conditions have told the Manchester Evening News that agonising delays have come at a cost.
They are forced to depend on strong painkillers, including addictive opiates such as morphine and codeine, and opioids like tramadol and fentanyl, for even longer. t’s even tempting those in recovery for addiction back into substance abuse, says one patient – who pleaded with his doctor to stop a painkiller prescription because he was ‘enjoying it too much’, despite being tortured with back pain.
