Being refered to hospital

[Caroline]

I went to the doctor to day with a pain in my knee mainly when I use stairs and a pain in my shoulder (I think it is an RSI as little feller likes to fall asleep on me). I came away with a prescription for pain killers-my knee only hurts when I go up and own stairs and I know the cause of the shoulder.

Anyway the other thing to come out of it is I am to be refered to the hospital, where I hope I'll get more support. I'm hoping the more support will help me regain a bit better control and it will put the insulin off for a while longer.

I go back tot he doctor with my knee in a fortnight- not that I can leave my knee any place or go anywhere without it. I'm pleased I have an understanding manager (thanks boss) and can do light duties for a while till I get answers.

Hi Caroline sorry to hear about your knee and shoulder. Great news about you being referred to the hospital for your diabetes. I hope that the extra support helps🙂

Thanks everyone. The knee is not too bad most of the time, it is painfull going up and down stairs, especially if there is no hand rail for support. I will persist with the doctors.

I wanted to be refered to the hospital a long time ago to get more specialist care, I will let you know how I get on
