My GP didn’t even mention it, I will have a look into it and mention it to him tomorrow. I have a phone consultation with him to air all I have said above. I think I may push for the xray on the NHS, as these referrals are supposed to be quite fast and then I can take the results private. I will contact that hospital to get the ball rolling tomorrow also, thank you everyone for your comments, it’s cemented in my mind that it’s the right thing to do.
