Need help

I have been to the doctor this morning with blood in my urine and have just found out ive had endometriosis for 14 years on my medical files and have never been told or treated for it. Ive been in agony with my stomach, hips and back for years and the past couple of months only managed to get an ultra sound that found i had adenomyosis and gallstones but ive been in and out doctors for years asking for help. Im in total shock. Need advice. 8 years ago i found out i had hypothyroidism and 2 months ago found out i have adenomyosis and gallstones. Ive had awful births and nearly lost my first born and last born child. I dont know what to think or who to turn to for advice. Please is there anyone that would know if this is medical negligence?

Only an expert can tell you whether this is negligence. Could you start a NHS complaint procedure? If you seek compensation you need to launch a formal legal complaint within 3 years of you becoming aware of the issue.
