Ill husband with no diagnosis

"Ill husband with no diagnosis"

About: Hull Royal Infirmary York Hospital

(as a relative),

My husband has been ill now for over 2 1/2 years. We started off at York and have now been going to Hull to see a surgeon there.

My husband still does not know what is wrong with him. He started with an itch in his little finger and now his right side and left hand is numb. They thought it was a disc problem and removed the disc and he is now worse. No-one can tell us what is wrong. We cannot get anyone at Hull to contact us as they are busy all the time. We have had to ask for a 2nd opinion at Leeds.

I am disgusted with the NHS. We have been passed from pillar to post. My husband is 43 years old and can hardly walk. To get any pain relief he is drugged up to the eyeballs.

I feel really let down that no-one can give us a definite diagnosis of what's wrong.

My husband served 12 years in the army. No one seems to care about him.
