On waiting list to go on a waiting list

Initially in January 2023 I had very good experience with the pain clinic, my pain was being managed in my spine due to a long term spinal condition, I was given steroid injection for pain which worked well but I was advised that the pain releif may not last so I was given a letter to advise me if that time came to self refer back for another steroid injection. The doctor who had done the initial injection I was advised had left, so I am now on the waiting list to go on the waiting list, I dont know how long I will have to wait.
