I had to wait 5 years on the elective surgeries list with no real idea of what was wrong. In the middle of the year I had some calls preparing me for surgery, no plan was gone through I had no idea what they intended to do or what had been confirmed wrong?
Once surgery was done I felt I was treated so badly by the nurses I discharged myself. I believe politely but assertively.
I had to come back early as my gp stated one of the knots in the stitches wouldn’t dissolve and had become infected. The surgeon didn’t even look at me let alone my arm and I was sent home despite a number of concerns not answered. When we came back the second time I felt as though I had frozen shoulder but saw a fill in dr. They were concerned and went to get the surgeon. They came back 15 mins later alone and tried a couple of tests with their hands and said I was fine.
I went for scans as didn’t believe the dr and found had a number of issues including frozen shoulder but have been told the scans are incorrect and I’m not receiving any answers or follow up and my arm is getting worse and has not been improved by surgery actually quite the opposite so I feel something is wrong, the physio says my bicep looks incorrect and my movement shouldn’t be restricted the way it is and they can’t proceed with physio without answers
Please speak to the clinician in orthopaedics!
