hi guy's just thought i would let you know how i got on with the specialist on friday as there seem's to be quite a few people on here with the same problem. Well after writing down many symptom's and question's for him he came in told me what was wrong without me being able to speak to him about increasing pain and imobility of the joint gave me another injection told me to wait six week's if no improvement to get my gp to refure me back again and they will consider surgury :shock: . All over and done with in seconds hope it work's as all it's given me at the moment is a stiff bottom :oops: but the pain is still there just got to give it time and be more positive i suppose but it's hard i'm feeling more and more depressed so god know's how you guy's feel, well must go speak to you all soon.

Oh Jenny, I'm so sorry you've had such a disappointing appointment with the specialist.

It is so frustrating and annoying :x to be rushed through like this and in not to be given any opportunity to tell him about your increasing pain an immobility. :?

I do hope the injection gives you some relief. it can take time for these joint injections to work so will keep my fingers crossed you do get a good outcome after a few more days :roll:

Why did he say an op might be an option if he hadn't carried out any tests. :?: :? and did he realise you also have your little son with JIA to support at home? it's so unfair to be treated this way!

I have no words really that would resolve the difficulty with the specialist except to say that if you do not feel that you are getting any better then perhaps being referred to a different specialist might be an option?

try to keep positive jenny...we are here for you so keep posting lovely. love and (((hugs))) to you and Jordan.

I really feel for you, GP referred me to consultant/surgeon who did my fusion and to cut a long story short, I went in and was told I was in the wrong consultants clinic and he'd refer me to the right consultant and had quick x-ray extremely quick exam, does this hurt? put you forward for hip bursa injection in left hip facet joint injection in right hip and hopefully you'll have injections before you see consultant. Had both injections over 6 months ago and no word from hospital as yet.
I was rather annoyed to be left up in the air especially as he said of x-ray "oh you have no discs in fusion to which I replied yes I had artificial ones, oh no there's nothing there!" and sent me away to wait for another appointment without me getting a chance to ask questions!
Now waiting for another MRI scan as feel another disc has gone and gp is trying to chase hospital. Take care and hope you feel benefit soon.

i had xray's taken in november it showed problem's with the left hip but non in the right which is where i get the pain i do feel that most of the time i am wasting there time on such a trivial problem but it has affected my life so much i was a woman that could walk 6 miles a day 5 times a week as i wanted to keep my goal at weight watchers now half the time i am unable to walk to the end of my garden without such dreadful pain i can no longer swim so unable to take jordan in short i feel like an old woman i am putting on weight as i eat because i feel depressed i have to walk everywhere with a stick life is becoming un bearable i have to get on with it because of jordan so i dont let on how i am but he knows and has said that he wishes he could give me a new leg bless him as if he doesn t suffer enough and that makes me feel guilty sorry to rant but i feel like i am going to burst soon. I also have a 15yr old with aspergers syndrome so he is hard work as well and doesn't understand why i can't keep up with him anymore my gp is next to useless i am sure he thinks im a time waster.

First of all you are worthwhile, you are a MUM and are struggling but still put your children first and that is a very worthwhile job!

Could you not change doctors surgery ? or another doctor in same surgery?

You must be a strong person to be given two children who need a loving and caring family to enable them to thrive.

Take care and stay strong.
