Sent from A&E back to GP
I've been experiencing pains in my arms for the past few months. I've been twice to A&E and I've seen the same consultant both times. Each time they've sent me away and asked me to go back to my GP for a referral to see a specialist. When I went to see the GP before he just gave me ibuprofen and that didn't really touch the pain. Why can't a specialist deal with it here? And give me pain relief? There should be more information here. I've got an appointment with a specialist through the GP that I'm waiting for now.
