I damaged my thumb in Feb 2019. I went to A& E and was seen by an orthopedic doctor who took an X ray and told me there was nothing broken despite my agonising pain. I was given painkillers and booked into several weeks of physio. After mo this of pain getting worse, I asked for a second opinion. This time an MRI scan revealed a break and severe misalignment due to 9 months passing. I am now going to have surgery in Feb 2020 to insert a pin in my thumb joint making it inoperable to bend anymore. I work as a self employed builder and I know this is going to cause major problems at work, climbing ladders, holding tools etc. Should I be seeking compensation from an already suffering NHS?
