Due to being in chronic pain due to delays and cutbacks in the NHS regarding my treatment as a direct result I know have to pay privately

INPROVE MY CONDITION AND MY WELL BEING WHICH HOPEFULLY HELPS MY LONG-TERM GOAL OF GIVING SOMTHING BACK BY DOING A SPONSERED SKY DIVE AND RAISE MONEY IN THE FUTURE BY DOING THE LONDON MARATHON WHICH IS A PIPE DREAM UNLESS I CAN MANAGE MY PAIN
my hope is that I can manage my pain so that I can avoid surgery and long-term give somthing back
I have Cerebral Palsy and suffer from Agonising relentless pain from my countless surgical procedures from when I had my Baclofen pump in my stomach -
I had Bottox in my legs for over 10 years to manage my spasticity in my legs, however, due to NHS cutbacks and delays in treatment, means this is now not an option.
The result of me not having the treatment has had a life changing impact on my day to day life, this means I am now in debilitating life changing pain where they last injected me.
what does it mean for me not being able to pay for my deep tissue massage, 3 times a week an my Chinese acupuncture twice a week.
This means I cannot function- can't get out of bed, im in that much pain I cannot do the fundamental basics that most people take for granted.
When I am in that much pain I isolate myself from everyone as my body and mind are so tense im not good to be around
