Since my late 20's (now 54) i've suffered with my back and shoulders, have tried many different private treatments from chiro's to osteopaths etc.
After being sent several times to physio I finally got an appointment in April 2017 to Rheumatology dept, Southlands Hospital in Shoreham even though I live in Worthing, nothing seemed to come of this.
Two years later another appointment was made May 2019, an MRI July 2019, another appointment in August 2019 for results, I got a taxi from Worthing to Shoreham because of the weather (i don't have a car) and when I got there, NO results!
September 2019 letter for appointment for X-ray after a few phone calls from me.
October 2019 appointment at Worthing hospital for x-ray.
Following more phone calls regarding results I received 2 part inconclusive letter in November 2019 saying (Spondyloarthropathy?) and other paper saying 'Evidence of spondyloarthropathy'.
There is no enclosed explanation or information regarding this condition, no follow up appointment or guidance to treatment or what my options are.
