sorry, if I have confused you.I have been sacked from my job due to many issues. I am back at college on a teacher training course.
My GP has referral me to a general surgery, he was the surgeon who fixed my hernia in 2002. I have had three years of dealing with a number of doctors at Selly Oak Hospital all of them just think I am imaging the pain etc. My previous medical history might help you understand. I had my son by c-section in 2000, after 6 months I developed pain in my R side with a distinct bulge underneath the scar. It was tender to touch. Two years I finally found out that I had a incision hernia which was repaired with mesh. Work did not help and put me to work in Neuroscience unit. The mesh did not take, so I was operated on again. In 2006 I had a tummy tuck with rectus tightened. Then I had the injury, Now I have a bigger bulge on my R side and it is very swollen, tender to touch I cannot walk without pain or walk up and down the stairs. The doctors at the hospital would like to inject me in the upper region of my stomach with steroids to stop the pain. My GP and I have refused due to the diagnosis being wrong . I just would like some feedback on how to approach these doctors who are not listening to me and really just want to get rid of me.
