    Looking on the bright side, Dilli, I suppose that an appointment within 2 weeks is a bit of a result given current circumstances. But when you're in pain even 2 days is too long.
    Keep taking the self prescribed analgesia.:yum

    I've mentioned CBD oil before and I know you said it done nothing for you.. give it some consideration... its working wonders for my mums knees. She's on the strong stuff, holds it under her tongue for a while for maximum effect too but she'd be pretty much crippled without it.
    Anyway hope the situation improves for you one way or another. Sounds pretty shit at the minute :heart:;)

    Well, crap, dilli. I am so bummed to learn that you've taken a turn for the worse. :(:sob: The pain is one thing and sounds horrible. But this new severe dizziness must be quite frightening. I'm really glad that you were able to get an appointment on the 12th. Hopefully that consultant won't only focus on your shoulders at the exclusion of all the other shite you've got going on. It seems from all you've shared over time that it's all interconnected.

    Hang in there and dole out that Jack judiciously. Much as I'm sure it helps (she says from experience), you don't need a liver problem on top of everything else you've got going on.

    I'll keep the positive thoughts going and the prayers flowing, dilli. :kissing_heart::heart::heart:

    Extremely saddened to hear of your continuing struggles with pain and the NHS. We all know the NHS is under a great deal of strain and pressure but this is nothing short of incompetence and disgraceful, wasteful bureaucracy. I'm sure if you were of a different mind that didn't to some extent accept his lot and was extremely vocal in formal complaint you might have a different outcome. I wish you well Dilli and a swift return to full health in 2021.

    You have my sympathy dilligaf.
    I feel sure many GPs (And hospitals?) are using Covid as an excuse to not see patients.
    ‘bout a week ago I started with pains under my back ribs, after 2 days it progressed up my chest.
    Shallow breathing okay, but full in breaths v painful.
    Called my GP’s surgery, closed, ring blah blah, or emergency 999.
    Called first number and arranged a call back within the hour.
    Doc. Amir Khan called, listened to ow and history then diagnosed muscle pain!
    Clever how they do this without a virtual stethoscope.
    After insistence he prescribed 7 days worth of Amoxicillin, but said wait a few days and if it gets worse, the take the prescription to Pharmacy.
    I have history of Pleurisy.
    Cashed it in straight away and now 4 days in I feel more comfortable.
    When my own GP is working he won’t see patients f to f if he can get away with phone consultation.
    Wondering if this will become the norm after the Covid retreats.
    I’m due for bloods for Cholesterol appointment (Okay for practise nurse to see people) next week so will take chest issue up then.
    Not an hyjack dilli, just trying to get across how incompetent SOME of Services seem to be at present.
    Hope you soon get going down the right road dilligaf.
    Cheers,Ken.
    PS. I don’t believe the guy that said: ‘A little pain never hurt anyone’.

    Never have been a fan of GPs :confused:
    I reckon that the vast majority of them are laughing all the way to the bank :mad:

    You could be correct there @dilligaf heard on the radio yesterday GP's have been offered 10 quid each for every vaccination given at care homes, Beggars belief.

    Only just seen this thread @dilligaf I’m so sorry to hear about all this. I can only hope you get sorted very quickly as I can’t imagine what you’ve been through these past few months. :heart:

    You couldn’t feckin make this up :sob:
    Have had two reminders by text about keeping my appointment next Tuesday as apparently it costs the NHS £160 every time when you don’t show up for your appointment :eek:
    Just had a phone call from them all apologetic saying that because of COVID-19 they’re cancelling my appointment because they’re having a circuit breaker :confused:
    They don’t have a clue when the appointment will be rescheduled :confused:
    Honestly this is really getting me down now as I simply can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel :sob:

    Absolutely ridiculous dilligaf!
    I would question whether everybody’s apps. have been cancelled, or just yours.
    What they doin’ shuttin’ the hozzie or Doctors down? Ffs.

    I have a none important (Blood test) Thursday morn. and that’s going ahead with the nurse.
    Tha main Doc. in the practise was seen giving someone (1st he’s done apparently, usually gets nurse to do it) the Covid inoculation, and guess what.....he was wearing a full Hazmat suit!

    You have our sympathy mate.
    Me and all the others.

    The problem is, Dilli, your doctor; the consultant and one or two of the theatre staff are all in the same road cycling club. And one of them is a Triumphforum member ............................ :eek:

    Sorry @dilligaf feel for you marra, not good waiting this long for it to be cancelled without knowing for how long, but hospitals not the place to be at the moment with all this going on,

    This is just for you, deep breath and hang on in there marra.
