I have been there quite few times with ongoing symptoms - shortness of breath,chest pain,rib cage pain,fainting,feeling extremely tired.....etc
Every time i was told take paracetomol,ibuprofen or gaviscon
Asked for tests where i had only tests for myeloma and repeated test for UTI
Had to live in pain and fed up calling GP as no chance to get through so went to A&E
They did more tests,said you are ok,go back for follow up.to your GP anf keep taking paracetomol
The pain got worse went to my bones,joints,was still feeling extremely tired.
Rang my GP(managed to get through) and asked for CT scan or something to find out what is wrong with me
Got a CT scan done which came back normal but the pain.didnt go anywhere
It did continue to.raise - i cab barely walk now as it went to my knees,constantly bloated,using toilet only 1 -2 times a day for a wee.
Urine is always dark yellow or orange,comes out very small amounts
Rang GP - got answer drink more water!!!!
I do drink 3 -4 liters of water every day.cant take any more!!!!
Went to A&E in Watford, have been asked to go home and not to come here anymore as they did everything they could and as a.doctor said to me-" its not our problem,go back.to your GP.
Rude!!!
Went to A&E in Dunstable,they did some urine and blood tests and said i have some issues with my kidneys.Have to book app with mg GP
So long story short - no chance yo get through to GP,as no appointments available
Rang the other day our surgery and been.told straight away on a phone - "your CT scan came normal,you dont have a cancer so its not a priority"!!!!!!
Is only cancer is the only ilness???Will i only receive a treatment when i get cancer????
So im.stuck - laying in pain,having urine tract issues,can barely stand up from a bed as knee pain, having shortness of breath and rib pain but i dont have a CANCER so im not on their priority list
What should do???
Any advice please!!!!?!
