A number of years ago I was referred to NHS Crosshouse with regard to a constant left groin pain. I was told it was a hernia and given a date for surgery. However, on the day, I was gowned and ready to go into surgery when I was told it was not a hernia and a subsequent meeting with the consultant I was told to consider pain management and physio.
From that day I received no correct diagnosis of an increasingly painful groin and was literally left to find consultants/healthcare to help me. I did eventually, through another consultant, get help at Crosshouse University Hospital, who have been proactive. However, I now find myself waiting and waiting to be offered a date for a surgical injection procedure despite having had a pre theatre test. My groin pain is so bad I have to take painkillers to get through the day and night. At times I have difficulty walking!
I despair after several years about the length of time.
