Mental Health & Wellbeing Support Services

I’m lying here on this ward in Hereford after spending 13 hours in A&E, and I honestly feel completely abandoned by the system that’s supposed to help me. I have a herniated disc, I can’t walk, I have no control over my own bodily functions, and yet I’m being told I’ll be sent home tomorrow. After everything I’ve been through, the only “treatment” I’ve had is painkillers. That’s it. No real intervention, no real plan just pills and a pat on the back. I’ve been told I can’t even be considered for surgery until I have physio… but how am I supposed to do physio when I can’t walk? I have 3 children to care for and a job to do? I’m 35 years old, I served 13 years as a paratrooper, pushed my body to its limits for this country, and now when I genuinely need help, I’m being handed the cheapest, least effective option and shoved out the door. I feel completely let down. I’ve lost all faith in this system. I’m upset, I’m scared, and I’m seriously disappointed that this is the level of care I’m receiving. I expected better anyone would. Instead, I’m being discharged with nothing but painkillers and false hope. This isn’t care. It doesn’t even feel like compassion. It feels like being written off. Sent this to my local MP but thought you might have some connections could help me out
