Feeling a bit sore today (edited sp..oops)

Poor you! That sounds really cr@p. Can't believe they won't tell you anything though, that really sucks! Have a relaxing day if you can...

Not a nurse, but have worked in the nhs, and still work in healthcare.

did the nurse not even say what elements in your hormones or blood the injections would be looking at, or how this would help your Dr form a diagnosis?

if i were you, i'd be kicking up more of a stink, asking (at the least) what they were looking for/at, as this will be on the form that the Dr completed when he asked for the test to be taken.

it is then best, tbh, to wait for your appointment on friday, as the Dr will then be able to use all the results from your tests and be able to form some kind of diagnosis. if they can't, and they say you need further tests, ask what they will be and what they will be looking at.

and if the results aren't available, kick up another big stink.

Thanks ladies, I dont know why I wrote no need to reply as your replies make me feel better! Espically the thought of a bubble bath and kisses from OH!! ...will remember that bit!!

Claire - Thats so rubbish!!! And waiting around for them to get into gear is the worst isnt it!! I hope your doc's have been extremely apologetic!

Bluewater - All the nurse would tell me was what she was injecting in was an accecelerant (sp) and thats all she knew as she didnt have my notes and she couldnt tell me why or what for. Its just so frustrating, my mind has been running wild since I got the message saying 'special investigation' and now its going to keep going until friday!

Aw Moya thats rubbish. Hope you get some answers at your appointment on Friday!!!! Also hope everything is ok and not too serious

Thanks gillsy, me too! I keep googling things which is probably the worst thing to do! lol! but im very impatient!

Turns out a lunch break works wonders for the brain and you ability to spell saw/sore! lol!

Moya do you know - I thought you meant to say "saw" and it stood for something that I didn't know. What I came up with is "sore and [something]" was trying to work out the "w" lol

Nope, no code there, just me being very dim before lunch, came back from lunch, looked at the title of my post and thought, im not saw, im sore!!! Although, i like your code idea rather than me being dim! ...how about SAW - Sore and Worried! That works! lol!

"sore and worried" does work and it fits your situation too. cool, we've invented a new acronym...lol

Sorry you're feeling sore Moya. Fingers crossed they find out what's up ASAP!!

Get your OH to look after you toniight - I think you deserve it ?

Thanks geordiebarbie! he is looking after me, told me not to be all upset about it and see the funny side...I had a small prick in my @rse this morning! lol! Will help me get through the next two days to the results any way!

Sorry to hear this hun. Sending you big hugs.

Be sure to let us know when the docs finally tell you whats going on.

Dont be afraid to complain (this goes for you too Claire) I recieved some awful treatment on a hospital visit, which has kind of left me emotionally scarred and I wrote a complaint letter. On my follow up visit I got the top doctor and a written apology from the 1st doctor.........

dont let them get away with anything! My father inlaw is in hospital due to the incompetance of some doctors and will now have to have kidney dyalisis for the rest of his days...

hope your arms n bum get better and hope you do overall xx

I have no helpful advise I'm afraid, but hope you get some answers and feel better soon, hugs x

Much sympathy! There's no excuse for poor communication.

After so much general fobbing off with the NHS, I now never leave until I'm satisfied with the outcome and that everything's been explained properly. It's the least you deserve.

Hope things sort out quickly, not knowing is the worst.

Thanks FF, i think Im going to adopt that attitude at my appointment tomorrow, They are obviously looking for something in particular so will make sure they tell me! Ive had enough of waiting and worrying!
