Primary lymphedema was diagnosed a few years ago and I have been wearing compression stockings since. This has worked!
Several times there have been hiccups in getting replacement stockings. This time has become more dramatic I have been waiting for replacements since April.
Have any other members had this experience? I am wondering if it is due to cut backs from the NHS or Brexit. In either way I am in danger of being house bound.
I am considering buying a walker with seat so that I can have limited mobility.
Keep pestering your lymphoedema clinic - politics should not be an excuse for a delay in garment provision.
If you want to invest in a walker, it may be quicker to buy one, unless the Occupational Health dept local to you can provide one?
My GP issues the prescriptions. I do not attend a clinic. Another alternative to the delay could be incompetence, but I am reluctant to try another pharmacy as it might be the manufacturer that is to blame.
You should then contact the GP clinic and ask if the prescription has been processed, and if it requires collection or has been sent to the pharmacy - and which pharmacy?
I am in frequent contact with the pharmacy. they say they are worrying the supplier but I can only scream and warn I could be housebound if replacements are not obtained
