Why can’t the NHS communicate!

January 8th, 2010

It’s been three months and I am still not walking, I can’t begin to explain how frustrating it is to try and get someone in the NHS that has enough information to help me with anything.I know the admin staff are doing their best but it seems any one with the slight bit of status is to busy to take a few minutes to help reduce someones confusion.

I’ve been trying to move my treatment from London to my home town, as I’m a student and being at University is with this injury is near impossible and all I get is people who do not know how to help me and are to busy or uninterested to help.

I’ve made the decision to not have a second ultrasound before I start physiotherapy as I have plans to move to the US in less then a month and no one can give me any answers. I will of course get a scan when i return to the UK, but for the moment I’ll just concentrate on walking!

    Hi Emma,
    So I understand you had a partial rupture, was in cast for 5 weeks and aircast boot for some time after? And you had a setback after 7 weeks and had to go back on crutches? Are you still in the boot?
    If your tendon is not healing properly it would be a good idea to have that ultrasound. Also if you keep moving around you have no one who will take responsibility for your continual care, that makes things harder. Hope the PT will help you to get better.
