If you have recently been referred with a musculoskeletal problem it was probably via a new government initiative called MSK Services set up in areas around the country at vast cost on a supposedly community basis. If so how did you how did you get on with your referral and treatment?

I have had major problems with my local group and will be complaining to them and the Quality Care Commission so I wondered about the experience of others in different parts of the country.  

I've put this in two other groups as covers different conditions

      You may not have noticed but this is a UK site but we do welcome strangers just as our NHS hospitals unfortunately do at our expense.

      It has been suggested that posters should put their country in their heading.

      We can easily pick out the American users from the expressions they use like doctors office, ER. primary care doctor etc. The headings  under patient all link to British Information.

      Yes our hospitals have to serve ALL patients emergengy needs no matter where they are from. There are signs in all hospitals that say as much.

      And fine, I get it now. It's a UK site. I won't bother asking any questions here since it's so anoying to you.

      You are not annoying anyone. We welcome everyone. I was just surprised that you asked where I am. I use a few American sites.

      We all take out massive travel insurance before going to North America.
