I have been attending the pain clinic for several years for agonising pain in my lower back. Three years ago I had a fall in the kitchen resulting absolute agony in my left hip. I repeated at the clinic that my hip was in a bad way but was'nt believed by one of the consultant's colleagues. . I saw the consultant early 2016 who sent me for an MRI. He referred me to Gobowyn. After 5 months I saw a lovely specialist who examined me thoroughly with exrays and said I needed a complete hip replacement as soon as possible. I Was referred to Glan Clwyd and told I would see another consultant. That was a year ago, I am at the end of my tether now, depending on antidepressant medication, housebound. I have paid into the system my whole life.
Where is the justice. I feel I just want to just end it all
"Told I need a hip replacement as soon as possible"
