Hi @Julian123
Welcome to our Online Community, thank you for taking the time to join us, we are a lovely group of people, we hope that your experience with us will be helpful.
I am so sorry to hear that you have been waiting 5 years for an TKR operation, it does seem that you have been waiting a long time.
There may be a couple of options that you could try.
- Suggest to your GP/Hospital that you would consider taking a cancellation.
- Possibly try a different hospital out of your area.
- Contact your local Healthwatch and Patient Association for further advice.
Hope that helps
Best wishes
