Drawn out process
I had regular physio for my back problem before being referred to the back and neck service and I've now been seen a couple of times. The staff are lovely it's just that everything takes so long. I have an MRI arranged for late in December but even once the MRI is done there will be the wait for it to be reviewed and then a further wait to find out what will happen next. I carry on doing the exercises that I've been given but they don't really have any positive impact. I have a long term and deteriorating problem and my last MRI was in 2017 and I do feel I've had to really push to get this one. I have multiple issues and one of the issues is that any issues that come up are immediately linked to the condition even if I know they are not related at all. I've been off work due to the pain I'm in for 5-6 weeks already and it's going to be so much longer as nothing is going to be addressed for quite some time yet.
