I suffered with pain in my knee. I went to work as I'm a volunteer. I had to come home as the pain was that bad. I called at my local health centre, when I was explaining my problem I was asked if I had broken it. I was told there was no appointments available and to go to the Oldham walk in centre.
I waited 2 hours only to be told to go to A+E as they thought I had pulled a ligament. There I had an x-ray. Two weeks later I was seen by a consultant who said it was a baker cyst which he would remove. I have a scan in two weeks. I should not have to wait 3 weeks before I can see my Doctor. I do not go very often. They need evening surgery hours.
