It sounds like you live in UK or there abouts. It is a shame that you
would have to wait so long to find out whats going on. You don't give
your age or other history, but it sounds like you shouldn't wait for
that appointment. Is there some way the first doc can get you in
sooner? I have no idea what the private costs would be, but since you
obviously are getting more uncomfortable, something needs to be done.
