How long do we think?
Hey guys! I’m probably asking how long a piece of string is here, I’m 6 week after my diagnostic injections and yesterday my physio sent letter over to my (hopefully) soon to be surgeon Dr Holton (Leeds uk) to present my case for surgery. My understanding is this is the real start of my aim of surgery. The way the physio said it is they will plan the surgery, so I think it’s just now a matter of time. Does anyone have experience of what happens now? I’m going to a private hospital called spire because I’m low risk and that should hopefully help speed things up but has anyone been to n this position able to give me an idea roughly of how long it takes from now until surgery? I’m really getting desperate. I can’t keep going much longer without something to grab onto as a lifeline. Things are just so bloody painful 24/7 I’m honestly on my last leg with this. If I can at least get an idea of how long I might be waiting I can hopefully avoid disappointment. 6 months? 18 months? Under 6 months? Long shot but hopefully someone in Yorkshire may have been under Dr Holton before
