I was referred to have electrical testing due to nerve pain in my arm in August 2023. The referring clinic gave me an information leaflet about the procedures - I believe called EMG/NCS.
More than a year later, I still had not had an appointment and asked my GP to follow this up as the pain was increasing.
On following up, I was told that due to some error, I was not on the waiting list, but had since been put on the list, which was 3 months long, by which point this meant I would not likely hear until the end of February 2025.
The pain is now becoming debilitating, and interfering with my activities of daily living, sleep and overall wellbeing.
My GP is supporting me the best they can with ongoing pain management which is insufficient.
I feel that due to this being a service error, and that I have waited 18 months and counting, that I should be prioritised for an urgent appointment.
