Visited Drs to see about having spur of bone removed growing into ankle joint. Was sent to Rheumatology dept at hospital, questioned this and said I should be at a Orthopaedics hospital. They didn't listen, so spent about a year visiting to be told at the end you have a bone spur in your ankle and you shouldn't have been sent here you need to see a Orthopedic consultant!?
Revisited Drs who then sent me to Beeston Hill Community Ctr MSK dept who told me you need to see a orthopaedic consultant and we will refer you. This was late April last year.
Still haven't heard a thing since then, so after nearly 2 yrs of actually asking to see a consultant I still have not had the pleasure.
Because I had keyhole surgery for this problem before and was advised it would need doing again in the future I took all the right steps, only to find out that so far it has been a waste of time.
"Still waiting to see a consultant after 2 years"
