How f**king hard is it to get these.
Had a Large giant cell tumour in my right knee, its basically eats through the bone and replaces bone mass with tumour mass.
It was on the right knee joint.
After they removed the tumour they packed the hole that was left with a bone cement compound and since then I have problem with the joint.
Standing for even 5 minutes causes the join to lock up and its then painful to move, walking causes an after affect, will not be great pain to walk but after it burns.
The joint clicks and the knew does not bend fully or straighten out fully and causes pain
The job centre is sending me on course that are 2-3 hours away and I don't have my own transport at the moment and even if I did there is no parking.
And telling me to apply for jobs in sorting offices and warehouses where I would be lifting and stand for long amounts of time
They said they wont pay for a taxi and I can't get a medical certificate from my Doctor as she said there is no proof of pain on my record 
I went to the doctors on the 20 of September, complained of pain and discomfort, went to hospital for x rays and then mri scans and then went to see my consultant and got a letter to say -
"There is a crack in the cement and there is a large lesion very close to the joint, your knee has undergone massive trauma and it is very unlikely that it will ever be normal again.
The other option is to have a Proximal tibal replacement with a concomitant knee replacement"
And yet my Doctor says this is not enough and the job centre will not accept my consultant's letter 
If I don't go they stop my money 
Sorry for the little book, pretty pissed off, course is from 7th to the 18th and I know I will have pain over Christmas now

This really pisses me off. Every dosser and their gran can make thousands from benifits, but someone has a GENUINELY debilitating health issue and they don't want to know. There is something far wrong there.
