I appear to have a similar issue with my valve/aortic root replacement… scared to think how much private will cost though 
Don’t ask, you won’t know!!
It’s (relatively) easy to comment ‘from the sidelines’, I know, but it is, surely, much better to at least investigate your potential options? As you’re a health sector worker I suspect that you’re already acutely (pun intentional) aware of the backlog/workload of local NHS facilities so, despite the ‘counter-cultural’ misgivings you’ll have, for the sake of your personal long term health it’s got to be worth investigating alternative (including private) options?
Best wishes and best of luck with it all.

Not today, but yesterday evening…
Had my initial consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon, he seemed a little perplexed by my symptoms but thought it may be nerve related. That was my thoughts too. He said about getting a scan on the elbow (where there is extremely painful spot when pressed) and a nerve conduction test.
As I was writing this got a call from their x-ray department going through a questionnaire for the MRI scan. They wanted to know how quick I can get there if they have a cancellation, but I’ll get an appointment for about 10 days from now anyway.

Out for a six course posh dinner to celebrate a birthday earlier this week. I know it was posh because this was the set menu.

Was that you rolling into triple figures then? 
AS you didn’t say which birthday, we’re allowed to speculate without reproach… Eleventy One has already been taken by a more venerable sort… I think I’m older than you but not by much, so I’ll open with 52???
(Happy birthday whatever dude)
I’ve decided I don’t like the way decimal numbers are headed so I’ve changed to the binary system. My next significant birthday will be in 100 years.
