Merry Christmas X
:santa2:
You you are all well X
I've got a issue ! - I'm under a rhumy consultant who initiated a MRI scan X result of that passed me into pain consultant who suggested cortisone injections into my hip joints. Which is great.
The week after I saw my normal consultant discussed my issues etc - she suggested a slow release cortisone injection for my other joint issues. I said I didn't want it to effect my hip injection going ahead. Reassured it wouldn't and cortisone would be out of my system by then. ( this is first week in October). The week after this I got a phone call saying they had a cancellation - I explained I'd had a s/r injection- she said she'd pop me back on the list.
Not heard from anyone since - on Saturday the pain consultant secretary phoned me to tell me they were removing me from their list as id had a injection elsewhere !
( she thought I'd gone private) I explained the situation, she said she'd get back to me!
I'm so upset that they are removing me! I really don't want to go thru the whole process again!, if I'd have thought the s/r would jepadise the procedure I would never have agreed.
Why can't consultants speak to one another ? - what do you think will happen now ?
My s/r has worked but in can tell it's coming to the end of its life. I need to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel X
Looking forward to your replies. X

I'll chase first week in Jan if I haven't heard anything - want to give them chance to reply X
I'm so upset with them :-(
I would ring everyone involved, don't give them time because now we're on the real run-up to Christmas; I agree with Sticky, ring the Pain Clinic sooner rather than later. DD
So I chased the hospital today. They'd wanted to take me off the list as I wasn't going to be dealt with within 3 month timescale !!! Uff :xmas_rolleyes:
Basically because of government guidelines. However she's made me an app for 12th Jan ( which I can cope with) to re evaluate! His secretary said I wouldn't have been seen til then anyway ! :xmas_rolleyes:
Then I phoned my normal consultant to chase my app with them. Went start of October and my supposed next app was 8 weeks ! Big fuss with rhumy secretary and then booking service who were both blaming each other! Was then phoned back to say I didn't need to be seen for 6 month following last app! ( slightly different from 8 weeks me thinks) so god knows what's going on!
Fed up of hospitals! I'm going to look forward n try to enjoy Christmas with the help of my medications and alcohol ( for medicinal purposes obvs : X )
My condition worsens over Xmas as I'm less active so everything stiffens :-(
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas xx :santa2:
'Less active over Christmas'? Come with me to my son's. PLEASE. I can help you
