Long wait for appointment with pain team

Posted By Stefk

"Long wait for appointment with pain team"

About: Seacroft Hospital / Pain Management

(as the patient),

After waiting over 8 months for an initial appointment I then received injections in to my spine and am now on a waiting list for a follow up appointment (having received not even a letter or phone call after my injections which were preformed under x-ray in theatre).

I had these injections in January and now in August I am being told I will not get an appointment till after October. I asked if there was a cancellation list to join and was told the only was to maybe speed the process up was to have my GP. write to them.
