To answer some of your questions lately, yes I am still on crutches, or more precisely A crutch! I am still limping badly and I can’t fully extend the knee. I went to see another doctor today who said that he suspects both ligament and cartilage damage. He has now made a referral to an Othopedic Doc and hopefully I will get an appointment within 1 to 4 months time!!!!!! It is likely he will just refer me for an MRI scan which is about another 4 months wait!!! And now for the funny part, it will then take probably another 4 MONTHS to get back to the Ortho who can then diagnose the results of the MRI. So in total probably about a year before I get a correct diagnosis on the knee never mind a second opinion or even, looking increasingly likely, an opereration!
It is likely that if I were to require an operation it may take a year after the diagnosis. So folks I might just be a raspberry ripple for the next two years!!! This is no exaggeration. Obviously I’ll be looking to shortcut the whole procedure but so are the rest of the millions of people trying to get their knees sorted. My mobility is improving slowly but I am still on one crutch and in pain, which is not particularly enjoyable in London. I’ll post an update soon on my dealings with the NHS next week.
