My husband had the same issue, neurologist appointment 8 months away. We got lucky though cuz someone had cancelled, and he was on the waitlist for a sooner appointment.
Are there any ways in which that can be sped up?
Such as changes in severity?
Worth finding out what the magic buzzwords are.
It is tiring having to do it but if you’re in the kind of pain that leads to you having to leave work early then there should be something to speed up the process.
It's the same as here in Germany. I need an appointment with a neurologist and an ENT doctor because of acute problems. The first available appointment is in January 2026...

I had a bulging disc once which was bad enough but at least that could be manipulated by an osteopath.
I’m guessing the usual ‘lie in prone and raise a knee up and towards your chest’ isn’t going to cut it.
