At last! I think I’ve found somewhere to post - I hope so. Sometimes just writing stuff down helps. I’m 121/2 years on from BC and all the treatments. Getting on with life even though with some auto immune issues. Had a routine dexa scan but then got a call from the GP to tell me that although my bone density is “perfect” and there is “no osteoporosis” it showed a compression in a lumbar spine bone that was a fracture and I must have an X-ray. Well that was a surprise as I had no pain. X-ray done and I heard nothing. I phoned for results and got told the doc had ticked it! I asked for a phone appointment- nothing. Three weeks later I got a letter saying I have been referred to physio. Three guesses where my mind is!
I know it is difficult with Covid and all that but .............. I tried to get a phone appointment with the GP but was told “you’ve been referred why do you want to talk to the doctor?” When I was crying she finally offered me a date three weeks later (this has since been cancelled again) and booked me in for the Covid vaccine?!? (not ungrateful but not the same as talking to someone). I tried to get on this site an it had changed and I couldn’t navigate it, I tried another site, wrote a post and it disappeared- timed out- I took too long to write it apparently- crying too much.
Have since tried to contact GP via their online thing even that took three days when a same day response is promised and I had to chase it and was told I should have agreed to email response and why didn’t I try Livi.
I’m not expecting miracles but with an additional ever increasing wake me up at night pain in my R arm that has lasted for over three months just how do I breakthrough and find a way to speak to the doctor at the practice where I am registered.
So although I am not normally prone to anxiety not being able to get any kind of response is leaving me on the edge and cups of tea, chocolate and rubbish tv only distract for a short time.
Sorry for rant-splurging. Writing it down does help get the fear, frustration and so on out a bit. Thank you for reading.
