A friend from school-run days has been watchful waiting on her TVT #mesh implanted 2003. In 2018 she went downhill. In 2019 she's in crippling pain, fears for her job & has side effects from pain meds Thousands are ticking time bombs @RCObsGyn @OwenSmith_MP
What a shocker this is. Yet more worry heaped upon the #Mesh injured. A device meant to be the gold standard treatment for Sui, prolapse AND hernia, and hopes of removal ever more slim. Thanks @NHSuk . Let's hope its ban continues after April.

Referrals to the UK's leading mesh removal surgeon have been stopped until further notice to allow @ElneilSuzy to catch up with the huge backlog of work Thanks to @OwenSmith_MP and @carlheneghan for continued support Terribly distressing to women https://t.co/SctzQTMIIJ
Suzy Elneil has the expertise and experience to train others for the highly delicate #mesh removal ops, this should be happening now. #mesh removal can honestly be life saving when the surgeon has the right skills and training.
Mesh survivors let down again by report that the Govt will not implement - Professor Alison Britton’s 49 recommendations are excellent all should be implemented immediately not ignored
#MESHTOO 🏴 "It's hard to get your head round how #mesh totally changes your life. With no warning. I saw @bleedingedgedoc & realised Im not the only one suffering. My surgeon reckoned I was a rare case" This woman had her op this year @ICIJorg@RCObsGyn
@ICIJorg The MHRA are not fit for purpose In 2012 they issues a Patient Safety alert as they admitted they did not have enough resources to police all the new medical devices on the market @carlheneghan@IMMDSReview https://t.co/Ym61JnY5rQ
Knife-edged vaginal mesh, ruptured breast implants and flawed contraceptive devices: are women disproportionately harmed by medical devices? https://t.co/4ShT3OARmf #implantfiles
