"Hospital staff amazing except rheumatology"

About: Tameside General Hospital / Rheumatology

I have had nothing but amazing experiences within the hospital and dealing with my condition. The doctors have been amazing. However after diagnosing me last year I was given information and sent away by rheumatology! I have had no follow up consultations, I haven't seen another doctor. Although I am suffering and in absolute agony. I am lucky I have other amazing doctors however I haven't been sent to pain management. I was originally under Stepping Hill Hospital and I requested I be sent to Tameside as this is my local hospital and like I say the staff have all treated me so well. Unfortunately with how I am deteriorating the doctors have said there is little they can do for me. Had rheumatology done a routine check up maybe they could of helped me. I am just so disappointed in the rheumatology department. So instead I am left suffering and in absolute agony. I guess I just have to be grateful for your physio department without them I would be screwed! I am only giving a good review for the other departments because they have been amazing. Rheumatology however would get 0 stars if that was an option as they have done nothing to help me!
