Just discovered I was misdiagnosed as needing urgent hip surgery over 2 years ago

Hopefully nobody else has experienced this but as it was during covid I'm probably not alone!

Does anyone have useful advice on how to get yourself onto the waiting list where you should be had you been referred correctly?

Also I have been looking at alternative funding by the NHS for elective hip surgery and the S2 route to EU healthcare systems is still available post Brexit. This route should help get funded treatment quickly if your local health board is unable to do so. Has anybody any experience of this? I live in Scotland.
