Actually it doesn’t matter if people are worse off than you.
This is you ,this is impacting your life and your wellbeing, I am sorry I can’t offer any solution but just wanted to say I understand your frustration.
The NHS is broken and I see no end to it.

Sorry for the whinge. The good weather is making me want to get out and about, but I can’t go anywhere. And yes, I know there are many people who are worse off than me.

I tore my Achilles tendon 7 months ago. Since then I have been house bound, able to hobble round the house but not able to walk more than 50 yards without awful pain. It is not getting any better. I went to my GP after 3 months and was told to be patient and let it heal. Okay, I know tendons take a while. After six months and no improvement I went back to the GP who referred me for a scan. That scan has been denied and I was then referred for physio, which was also denied….but the waiting list was 13 months. I am 75. Am I supposed to remain housebound? This is certainly impacting my physical and mental health. No wonder the waiting lists have been reduced. Such dishonesty by Streeting.
