  1. Hi All My partner had been going to the doctors since March 2007 with pains in her back. They continually gave her pain killers to ease the pain, but did nothing else. Towards September / October time the doctor eventually sent her for a back x-ray at the local hospital which resulted in nothing showing up. The doctor then sent her for physiotherapy, which she only lasted 1 session because the physio said it was nothing to do with her back. At the end of November, her back played up as it usually did but it didn't go away after a few days. In fact it got worse. On the Sunday I took her to A&E, as it got unbareable. This is a person that has had two C-Sections and DIDNT have ANY pain killers at all, so I knew something was up as she has a VERY high pain threshold and was crying with the pain. A&E did a x-ray on her front and diagnosed a blockage and so administered the usual enimas etc which didn't work. They then sent her home, still in pain, with laxatives etc. By Tuesday, the doctor was called out as she was still in pain and she said she felt something "pop" inside her. A nurse came out, and after consulting with a doctor she was sent back to A&E. On the Tuesday night, she was AGAIN diagnosed with a blockage and was told that she would be admitted to "flush it out". On the Wednesday afternoon, she was sent for a Scan. By Thursday night she was in for a emergency operation. It turned out to be a cyst the size of a 9 month baby, which would take her back to March from when she started having pains. She then had about 3 months off work, still gets pain (she said its starting on her left side but is reluctant to go back to the doctors after last time) and not has a scar on her tummy which she feels awkward about. Does anyone think we have a case for compensation? Does it have to be her that starts it or can I? Cheers in advance! Daz
