Hi everyone,

I have had bowel issues for 9 years Iv been waiting on surgery for the past 2 not sure if it is that or endo on my bowel, I had bleeding last year for about 2 months went to the doc they sent me for a scan and it came back I have some degree of pelvic congestion( twisted veins from pelvis to my ovaries) however when I went and seen my gyno she said that doesn’t cause the pain I am in and it is likely I have had endo for the past few years. I keep phoning asking for advice one min I get told there’s no meds to help me ( dihydrocodeine, tramadol and naproxen they have given me, all make me sick) with the pain the next min they tell me I can get my doc to tell the gyno I need prescribed something from them. I was told to get the coil, they also told me I’m level 2 which is just under suspected cancer patients they need to help them first which I get, one member of staff said that is the highest level and then another told me no it isn’t, so I should have over a year to wait then someone else told me there’s no waiting list timeframe.

I am thinking of going private I stay in Glasgow has anyone had any experience with private healthcare here?

Thanks
