Morning peeps
as I said previously, I’ve been taking regular chest infection (every 6-8 weeks) since upper R lobectomy dec. 2021. Very grateful & thankful I didn’t need further treatment.
recently have had quite bad lower back pain, travelling down my R leg into my foot. Dr prescribed Amitrypitiline 10mg at night. Have only taken 1 or 2. He requested chest & sacroiliac x rays of both joints. Had these on Friday, radiographer said I should have results within a week, if I don’t I should call &. Chase them up.
never been told this after an x ray, should I be concerned ? (I am !!) any advice would be greatly appreciated
Hi Indian.
With all the current backlogs etc across the NHS, I think the radiographer was simply giving good advice to contact the Doctor if it you don't hear anything this week.
Hope everything turns out well for you.

Thanks kegsy
just was a bit taken aback as I’ve always been told, “your GP will have results in abt 3 weeks” but I’m sure you’re right
Good morning lovely people.
2nd CT scan on 17 April this tear (R upper lobectomy Dec. 2022) recent scan has shown my middle lobe is compressed. Having bronchial lavage on the 23rd May. Letter to GP from consultant described it as possible middle lobe syndrome, GP unsure what this is. Regular chest infections but one in December this year & a few weeks ago really floored me. Throat is quite raw & my voice is quite hoarse. Anyone able to suggest any ideas on what's going on with me ?
