A bad day - your views or findings?

Started off not too bed, was sick with pain though, that soon passed, but as the day has gone on I have been feeling more and more pain in my neck, shoulders and top part of back, feeling sick again with the pain. It really knocks me for six when I get pain sometimes, its like I been hit with a sledge hammer. My cat even seems to pick up on how I am feeling. Any one else get pain like this? Please share your experiences here, thank you 

India could be the answer

Been watching The Real Marigold Hotel on BBC iPlayer, where 8 senior citizens go to India to see if they could retire out there, or at the very least, see if they can get their health issues sorted out. It got me thinking if I should look in to treatment elsewhere in the world to get my problems sorted out, as it seems I have fallen down in to the cracks of the NHS system as things are not bad enough to go in and fix just yet, and one injection I am on has stopped Ankylosing Spondylitis it in its tracks but its not making it get better, yet its not bad enough to go in and fix. My neck has problems as well that needs looking at, spinal cord damage apparently. I also have issues with both my knees and my left hip and leg in between. Going to somewhere like India has to be an option, I can't keep living between the gaps of a system, being a drain on the NHS for my medication month after month, year after year, it is no way to live. If I went private in the UK it would cost thousands,
