Hi, as some of you know ive been having quite a few problems lately.
Ive got a list from head to feet of problems that need addressing.
ive waited since august for an appointment at pain clinic to see the pain specialist (Dr) as i had a telephone consultation & she said she would get me in ASAP.
Well i rung them today & asked them if i was on the waiting list . yes i was but there was a backlog. She then said she was filling appointments for next week & could i come in then.
Yes, i nearly bit her hand off
good job i rang or i'd still be waiting. :roll:

It's a good job you took matters into your own hands then Minky and rang them - otherwise you'd still be waiting....
Let us know how you get on.
SpeedyI have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.0 -

only jealous coz I cant do it :oops:0 -
So glad you are finally getting to see someone Debs, but cross to think that this could probably all have happened weeks ago.
Oh well, I`ll bring lots of cream horns, which I`ll chuck if you don`t get the right help!!! Much love......Ange.0 -
I hope you find the clinic helpful, minky. People vary in their reactions to it, I would very much like to go on one but the chances round here are rare: I have discovered that they run one at the hospital but the waiting list is similar to that of Top Gear - years. :roll: Good luck on Wednesday. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0
