My 12 year old daughter is waiting to be seen by the trauma and orthopaedic clinic. It’s been nearly 4 months, they told me it could take up to 43 weeks for her to be seen.
I’m extremely worried as her pain isn’t getting any better, she says that it’s the same and she’s getting used to it being there now. Only she’s saying she’s noticed she can feel a lump in the area where her pain is located and it often feels like her bones are rubbing together.
I’ve tried to feel where the lump is but it’s difficult as she’s so tender in the area when it’s touched.
I suppose I’m just wondering if I have cause for my concern with it.
it’s so awful for her as she try’s to do her normal thing, go out playing with her friends but can’t walk for long distances, go on trampoline and things like that as it causes her extreme pain. The pain also goes into her femur area.
I’ve spoken with the gp surgery and she has an appointment on the 23rd. Hoping they will give her some answers plus rush the hospital appointment.
sorry for waffling on.
