Well, i saw rheumatologist on 9th of April and he said I need to see my local orthopaedic surgeon to discuss further treatment, so I offered to pay privately to speed things up and was told I'd be contacted within a week. Orthopaedics secretary phoned yesterday and said they do have an appointment in early July if I still wanta pay privately.I have tried to see him privately and have spoken to his secretary on several occasions. I have to go back to the hospital for a steroid IV drip this afternoon to see if that helps or rules out certain conditions and see the consultant again on 9th of April but they just don't understand at all about being self employed and neither do doctors.
Trouble is the pain just won't ease and is progressively getting worse despite taking pain killers, anti inflammatory drugs and anti depressants
What a fantastic service. NOT
