Knee Xray Appointment and Results

Posted By Grannie J

"Knee Xray Appointment and Results"

About: Castle Hill Hospital / Radiology

(as the patient),

After waiting since last August for a knee x-ray appointment, I finally had the x-ray in mid March. Now its April, I contacted my GP surgery and they are still waiting to receive my results.  I am 79 years old and my knee pain has been getting worse over the past 18 months.  I am originally from the States (I moved here in 1965), and am so very grateful for our NHS.  It saddens me greatly that the system seems so broken.  The wait has been very frustrating and it looks like the waiting time for knee surgery is up to a year. I had my x-ray at Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire.
