Try get a referral to gyane again and see why they can't do a hysteroscopy to have a look for the cause of bleeding and clots and if they can fit a coil at the same time they do them under local and general anaesthetic. Then that may help wth symptoms and allow you to lose weight and get a piece of your life back. I don't know any consultants in Edinburgh or Glasgow but I seen Dr Jack in Aberdeen he was brilliant.
