surgery

25 years ago I stood on a seweing needle which broke in two, my doctor tried to get it out at the local cottage hospital but failed, I was transfered to another hospital who advised that the needle would work its way out itsself, this never happened and I am now experiencing throbing and pain from it, I know it is still in the same place as I broke a bone in my foot a few years back and saw it on the x-ray. My question is, would I be able to get this needle removed soon or would I have to go on a waiting list to get this done?

If it's causing a problem then see your GP and ask for a referral.

The waiting time will probably depend on the waiting list for wherever you're having it done and their priority listing.

yu can go anywhere that does the surgery in the country. The most you will wait is 18 weeks from referral to treatment
