Malt 379 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 i know the feeling , it would take about two months to get your invoice money, but you had to pay the workers every week. the arguments it caused. now im sat behind a monitor awaiting a hip replacement . im getting depressed as there just messing me around How long you been waiting mate? I've been 4 years waiting to get my knees sorted. Finally managed to get referred on to a specialist knee doctor from the general orthopaedic surgeons last year and saw him in Januray. Thought things were on the up when he nailed the issue after one scan and promised to have me in for a double exploratory op within two months. Still waiting to hear back now...

Still waiting to hear back now... i have been limping for three years, in all fairness ive been my own worst enemy in prolonging it , i was due to go in before christmas, the waiting list was only six months , i started off private at the johnathan webb clinic in bristol, he said he would do me on the NHS and that i had to phone and book it and i would have an appointment come through for a date of my operation about six months from the date of booking my operation , which was before xmas . its been cancelled a couple of times ,the last time i was getting marked up to go into theatre about three weeks ago due to concerns with my metal allergy they cancelled it , im having what is called a birmingham hip joint . so now im still waiting for an appointment with dermatology to have a metal allergy test . some times my leg locks and i have to get paramedics out , embarrasing last time i was in the middle of a field when walking the dogs lol. i hope they hurry up and sort your knees out, it certainly gets you down . atb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
