Hi everyone,
I'm really just writing because i'm so frustrated with NHS waiting lists
I was referred to my consultant 16 weeks ago and saw him 12 weeks ago when I was told I needed an discectomy. In the meanwhile I did have a few sessions at the osteopath but could not afford to keep going. Phoned the consultants secretary and then the waiting list people.......my op will prob not be till end of May because they have had to cancel alot of ops because of bed shortages!!!!
Its so annoying as I'm due to go away in the summer with my little boy who is not yet 2 and if its too near my holiday to give me enough time to recover I am going to have to cancel the operation and wait till I come back!
I think this 18 week max wait time is a lot of rubbish.
Has anyone else had such a long wait?
Thanks for your help and support
