"Abdominal and side pain"

About: Ridgeway Hospital

I have had lower left abdominal pains since January which has now increased up the left side of my body. I was referred to this hospital by my surgery as they said I would be treated quickly.

I kept mentioning that it did not feel like bowel. But I was was still given a colonoscopy which to no surprise came up clear. I also had an ultrasound on my bladder which came back clear.

After these appointments I had a CT scan done at another hospital which found that everything was clear apart from a large stone in my left kidney. After this

I was sent to another consultant for treatment at Ridgeway. As soon as the consultant met with me they dismissed the CT scan results and now wants to go back and do an ultrasound all over again. So now it seems to me that I am virtually back to square one. Is it because I am being seen through the NHS and not paying privately or what? I have had all tests done. A result was found. But it seems like as I am not showing every symptom. It cannot be that.

How much longer???????
