Excellent team work joined up NHS services
Visited Dr [name redacted for privacy] for a menopause review and mentioned how much pain I was in with my hip as part of her consultation questions and this has been stopping me moving around and getting on with life.This was having a knock on effect with menopausal symptoms .During the appointment she asked a visiting physiotherapist working out of the surgery to give his opinion. Phil examined me that morning and made referrals for scan and X-ray . These came through and on 15th October he was able to refer me to a surgeon due to the results of the X-ray and by 30th October I has been seen by an orthopaedic surgeon who has recommended a total hip replacement early next year. This will enable me to undertake more walking once recovered and keep on top of my weight and well-being without constant pain . Such a relief to be listened to and treated with respect
