You deserve treatment for any psychological stuff caused by your physical illness.

Some people with long term pain benefit from cognitive behaviour therapy. You might want to see a pain clinic to get best quality advice about pain, and about rehabilitation.

If you want to know what treatment you could expect from the English NHS you could enter the condition in the search here: https://www.nice.org.uk/

They tell you the evidence they've used to come to their decision. They sometimes give "Do NOT" advice, telling people to avoid some treatments.

Or you can try NHS Choices to get some general information. http://www.nhs.uk/pages/home.aspx

In general, getting medical advice from the Internet is probably a bad idea.



>You deserve treatment for any psychological stuff caused by your physical illness.

Quite often the pain itself is caused by psychological factors. It's certainly worth addressing psychological issues either way.
