Muscle in my back was in spasm and I had been lying on the bedroom floor unable to move because of the pain since 8am. I had assumed the pain would subside! The first two paramedics arrived within 15 minutes. Unfortunately Entonox was insufficient to relieve the pain so another 2 paramedics arrived who were able to administer I/v Morphine. With assistance I was then able to hobble down my 3 flights of stairs to the waiting ambulance.
Throughout my ordeal, from initial assessment to delivering me at A&E the 4 paramedics were superb & very reassuring to my partner too.
"Paramedics were superb"
