Hi all. I need a bit more advice please. I have had a really bad few day's....worse with the pain in my spine now spreading down and where the fracture's are it feels as though it's on fire as are my leg's. I haven't slept properly for I don't know how long. My Dr. had told me that he had written to Neurology asking for an urgent appointment but my husband rang our hospital today and there is no appointment with Neurology but I'm down for an appointment with Orthopaedics. They wouldn't tell my husband how long it would be before I get an appointment but I know that the waiting list is month's and the Orthopaedic Department don't have a wonderful reputation. My Dr. is sure that nerves are trapped in the fracture and fluid has ballooned out which is what's affecting my leg's. So ....question....Orthopaedics or Neurology....who would be better for me to go to. I'm going to phone my Dr. on Monday to find out what is going on! If you all think that it would be better for me to see a Neurologist then I will phone the hospital on Monday and make a private appointment. I haven't been able to do anything since I last wrote here because I have felt so ill and been in so much pain and this has really upset me when I'm feeling really down anyway. Hate moaning! Any advice would be appreciated....again! Thank you in advance.
Hugs to everybody. xx
