Hi

I am a 65 year old female.    About 11 months ago I had a pain in my left thigh and swelling at the top of thigh were bone connects.  My GP diagnosed by phone that this was Meralgia Paresthetica.  It has never went away.  A few months later I started getting pain in my lower back.  I still was not examined and was told by my GP I would be referred to a physiotherapist which  could take a long time to get an appointment.

Fast forward to a few months ago.  I phoned my GP about the constant lower back pain and also pain in right leg when standing. Also pain in my bone under left breast.  Pain that feels like all around my torso.

She agreed to see me and examined me.  She arranged ultra scan of my liver kidneys and sides.  It came back clear.  She also done various blood and urine tests including a CA125.   They were all clear.  After I insisted she said she would arrange for x rays to be taken of my lower back.  I have since found out she referred me as a non emergency.

I am still in the same pain , losing weight have little appetite and constantly tired all the time.

Although I have told them this they do not seem concerned and said to wait for the xray,  which could take months yet as its a non emergency. 

I am feeling very ill and afraid.  However I do not want to phone my gp practice again incase they start considering me a nuisance

Writing in the hope you have any advice.

Thank you.
