The person who recently wrote describing their 15-week wait for hospital treatment is actually lucky.
My husband has had a bad knee for about three years and various GPs have told him various different things. These range from he's too young for an operation to there is nothing actually wrong with him.
If that is the case I would hate to imagine what the pain is like if something really was wrong, as he is in agony a lot of the time.
At last our GP has referred him to a specialist for a hospital appointment, but he hasn't been given a date as there is at least a 64-week waiting period.
This is an extremely long time to wait with such a painful condition.
