Not a great experience

I did a self referral in to the service, the initial consultation wasn't great, the member of staff wasn't very understanding of the pain I was in and kept hold of my leg which was excruciating. They referred me on for an x-ray and informed me I'd need to wait a couple of weeks for the results. After a few weeks I was told I needed an MRI which would be 6 weeks. When the results came in the diagnosis was severe and much worse than expected. I've had to wait from May until October for the operation. At no point have I been told what I should or shouldn't be doing and considering my spinal cord is compromised it leaves me feeling unsure what to do.
