If I'd rung the GP first thing in the morning saying I couldn't move and then stayed in bed until someone came to see me, I might have got a less flippant attitude from her. Because I knew that I just needed to get myself moving and it would eventually ease off a bit, I worked through the pain and managed to walk to the surgery (it's literally two minutes' walk away - on a good day). <br /><br />I think she just thought if I'd coped with this on three previous occasions, why was I bothering to go and see her on the fourth - whereas I was worried that each occasion was worse than the last and wanted to make sure there was nothing underlying it that might be causing it. I suppose she reassured me on that.Hope Springshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380949423334441581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054933741560126677.post-34730354117531544082010-02-06T20:04:36.241+00:002010-02-06T20:04:36.241+00:00What an icky nightmare with your back! I'm hor...What an icky nightmare with your back! I'm horribly sorry that you are in so much pain, and add frustration to that as well. You're assumptions about the GP visit are similar to mine which is why I often wait until I've a long list of complaints or something has become painfully insistent before I go for a visit. Always seems such a waste of time. They take your money, but don't really help very much. <br /><br />Certainly hope this episode ends quickly and that you're back to your normal self soon. Take care...I'd say rest up, but in this case I guess "keep moving" is more appropriate.Myndihttp://tenaciouslyttc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054933741560126677.post-65538229317525433892010-02-06T15:30:40.752+00:002010-02-06T15:30:40.752+00:00Wow, I can't believe that's all your GP sa...Wow, I can't believe that's all your GP said. I am really in shock. My husband has back trouble and his doctor gave him this really awesome electrical therapy thing. He sticks the pads on his back and adjusts the current to a setting comfortable to him. It helps a lot. He also got an injection of something in his back that took away the pain permanently for a long time. Another useful thing he did was get different in-soles made by a podiatrist for his shoes -- this helped him not to re-injure it by walking incorrectly.<br /><br />I am glad your osteopath was able to help you!quadmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254199098599230245noreply@blogger.com
