This story has been posted by Healthwatch Tameside on behalf of a member of the public who asked not to have their name published. They said…
It has taken Tameside Hospital 3 years to diagnose the arthritis of a 20 year old female. She is now on pain medication but has been undergoing tests for 3 years. She was offered surgery but is very reluctant to have operation.
Physio made it worse and more painful. She went for MRI scan but they were unsure which joint to scan. She is disillusioned with medical care at Tameside Hospital.
"Very slow diagnosis of arthritis"
