I'm absolutely gutted. I've just rang my physio department for my next session for my SPD. I was informed they are fully booked up until early July! hats weeks away and I'm struggling quite badly now. Things have gone from bad to worse over the past week and I'm now struggling to just get to school and having 3 runs a day it's getting too much. I was going to ask for crutches as I need to support myself as I walk. They said there was nothing more they could do as they cant help being booked up. By the time I get another appointment I'll only have 3 weeks of the pregnancy to do. I just dont know how I'm going to cope through the next 4 weeks with nothing.

Get an emergancy appt with your GP NOW!
Tell them you cant cope anymore and you need an urgent referal to the physio dept. They will have free slots for emergancy cases and you are one. Scream, shout and refuse to move until you are treated!
If all else fails I'll come up and shout at them for you. Can your Midwife do anything? Has she been helpful so far? I found mine great for shouting at the hospital to get their bum into gear.

No advice on this one, but didn't want to read and run. Just wanted to say, I agree with Madz, get to your gp and refuse to move until they do something. I hope you get something sorted out soon x

My midwife is different every time so never really been much help, it's not even been put on my notes that I have it so I have to explain every time when they tell me to just 'hop' on the bed.
I'll try and get an appointment with my GP tomorrow, I cant believe they are making me wait so long, I explained I'm a single mum to 4 and am starting to lose all mobility but they said if there arn't any appointments they cant really do anything for me.

Thats complete ROLLOX that theyve given you. All surgeries have at least 5 emergency slots in the morning as well as 5 emergency slots in the afternoon. Rant and rave, and keep on at them...

Awww honey I hope they see you asap.....they can't leave you like this
Can I be nosey and ask why they haven't given you crutches before now? I was given mine ages before I thought I needed them, but they were there when I did.
