I am looking for some advice....
I suffered an injury in January and was told by the physio on the course that when I returned to my unit I should get an MRI scan organised by my MO. When I returned to the MO and informed them of the advice from the physio they decided not to get me the MRI and just gave some physio.
Shortly afterwards I deployed to HERRICK only for the injury to flare up during RSOI and me to be medevaced 3 weeks later having been in considerable pain for 2 plus weeks. I then had the MRI which ruled out the worst case scenario and am now recieving treatment which could go on for a year. I have also been told that I may never fully recover which could affect my promotion and ability to do my job.
Several civilian friends who are doctors were surprised when I was not given an MRI originally and un-surprised when I was eventually returned to have one. They have suggested that the miss management of the injury could affect my chances of recovering fully and the time this could take.
Should I take action against my MO or is there anything I should do?
Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
