I was first thought to have a frozen shoulder in March this year, waited till may to get Physio but knew myself by then it was not a frozen shoulder as I had had one previously
physiotherapist was rude and said I had a low pain threshold. doctor then referred me for an x ray which showed arthritis and calcium, I was then referred to a consultant in June, still waiting to see consultant and can now feel my other shoulder starting the same way. my first shoulder is now agony, movement is restricted and have not slept for months.
Have been given 7 different pain relief tablets which have had serious effects on me, with the last being Tramadol of which I ended up at hospital and told to stop taking them as I had an adverse reaction to them. Phoned the NHS complaints today and someone will get back to me in the next 7 days again waiting! !
Phoned the consultants secretary and got told it could be September before I am even seen with Consultant. This is unacceptable.
