Complained about rheumatology misdiagnosis. Seeing doctor this afternoon.

Hi all

After another night of hardly any sleep I decided to call my orginal rheumatologist' department, who told me I wasn't my hip and complain about my misdiagnosis and subsequent unnecessary caudal epidural. Secretary admitted this is a misdiagnosis.

The hospital have asked me to come in to see a doctor this afternoon to discuss how they can make amends/give me the treatment I now need and didn't get over 15 months ago. Hopefully things will now get resolved otherwise I will take legal action as all the decisions about my job etc would have been different if I had known it was bursitis. None of my symptoms are any different to what they were when I saw them in February last year. And I asked the doctor then if it could be something to do with my hip but they said no. All I needed was an MRI of my hip. Now I have done the wrong Physio exercises, had the wrong treatment and lost a job that I loved.

Ggggrrrrhhhhh!!!

I feel angry for you.

Based on that diagnosis (which you now know is a misdiagnosis)! You have made decisions which have altered the whole course of your life.

All the best with getting things resolved and getting the proper treatment which you have missed out on.
