Ok , so I am getting a little down, my pain has come back and i've been wanting this appointment for 4 weeks now, i ring the hospital everyday and no answer!! I start my PT Personal Training course end of april and need to be fitter for that and be able to do the course otherwise I am wasting my money . Nothings going right i was let off from my job a few weeks back and I am just wanting to work , earn money and enjoy life and nothing like that is happening.

It shouldnt be taking me 40 mins to get out of bed at 20!!

Sorry for my rant .

Have you tried ringing your consultant's secretary and asking them to hurry things up? I find this usually works if you've been waiting a long time!
