Waiting 12+ months for cortisone injection
I have been waiting over 12 months for a cortisone injection in my knee. I have been living in unbearable pain. In August I called the surgery crying in pain, and was told that I was not on the waiting list, when I was told previously that I was. I was put back on the list as urgent, and received a text message from the surgery saying 'do not call us, we will call you', which I found quite rude. I have finally had my injection in late November 2023, 3 months after being put on the urgent list, and I had to attend a different SHP practice for it. The waiting times are awful, but I don't think anyone cares.
