OP this is awful. At this point I would 100% pay for some private investigations. My sister recently paid for a private colonoscopy, the Dr who did it was also the NHS doctor who does them at the local hospital, he referred her back into the NHS and bypassed the wait lists so it’s definitely worth doing.

This is shocking! I think you need to go private as a matter of urgency.

I would also go private if you cant offord it. Was there mention before that you can get basic health ultra sounds at these pregnancy scanning places now?

I agree you need to be seen quickly, please return to your GP and ask again. Good luck.

@Welshandpro I've been thinking about you, how are you doing? Is it still really painful?

I've found this thread this morning. How are you OP? Where in Wales do you live? If you haven't been sorted yet, please DM me. I work in radiology and may be able to help.
