"Lower back and leg pain review"

About: Warrington Hospital

L5/S1 injections had not had any effect . I had difficulties understanding one consultant and asked to be changed . New consultant was arrogant , belittling and condescending in the extreme .Did not ask for my opinion or any details about my problems which I have managed for 30 plus years but now they have become too much for me to bear. They claimed that I had no issues with my lower back and showed me MRI scan , I pointed out that was not what the report said , their reply was everyone gets leg pain and Oh! yes there is a bulge in a disc. I was told by fellow suffers that this consultant wasn't up to much but I'm the sort of person who goes on personal experience .Take my word for it this was a waste of time . I will now continue with expensive private treatments because this consultant cannot be bothered.
