Hi I’m Rustam,

I wanted to speak to you about something really personal and it’s about my health. I’ve been suffering from chronic pain with it regressing each year since 2021. I’m suffering from a severe case of tendonitis throughout my body. I’m having trouble walking now, I have pain in my knees, ankles, quads and hamstrings.

I also have neuropathic nerve pain going from my neck to my left shoulder.

I’m finding it difficult to write and hold things, as I have weakness in my arms, in particular pain in my tendons in the elbow left and right. I’m having new problems emerge atm with pain in my wrists.

I’ve been made redundant now so I have a lot of time in my hands, I really need to go private treatment so I can get my life back. It’s impacted my mental health a lot and I’m often depressed and miserable. I’ve never told anyone this, but I’ve even considered suicide a few times in recent years. I just want my life back.

Treatment for my condition includes steroid inejctions, acupuncture, shockwave therapy and intense physiotherapy.

At the moment I am unable to do any physiotherapy due to the inflammation and pain throughout my body.

I have been using the NHS for the last 4 years yet they can still not diagnose me, I had to get private treatment and they were able to provide me with a diagnosis instantly.

The goal is to reach £10,000 to cover all the costs completely.

Thank you ever so much.
