That's awful..

You need to seek legal advice to see what they can do to sort this mess out.

I hope things get better for you.

The Citizens Advice Bureau can help you with this, or at least put you in touch with someone who can. I mean the legal side of it, seems you deserve compensation.

That's absolutely awful! I also think you need to get legal advice. Have you tried going to A&E because the pain you are experiencing sounds brutal.

I am sorry you are having such a bad time. Would it help to go to your local Patient Advice Liaison Service (PALS) & Get their advice & possibly make a complaint? Good luck
