Just phoned the surgery to ask for an appointment to see the quack about my back pain which is getting worse rather than better with each passing day.
"Certainly" said the receptionist "Ten past four this afternoon" eeek:
Blimey! I was expecting a week on Wednesday if I'm lucky!
-
Ours is very good that way. Call in the morning and you will get seen that day.
-
Excellent service ~ but I only phoned at 3 eeek:

They always like to get rid of the troublesome ones first whistle:

nice good chiropractor
Ooh look, on the right cloud9:

I'm not sure I could drive that far at the moment Nick.
This needs some industrial strength pain killers and that is a problem given all the other meds I'm on.

She may have friends in your patch. It has always werked for me (and I know that back pain is agonising) - I have a stock of Codeine pills eyes:
-
I knew it was to good to be true. B@st@rd kept me waiting 50 minutes. He had nobody with him ~ he was "on the phone".
Still I have the painkillers and a little bottle to pee in and return.

CHIROPRACTOR!!! There is bound to be one in your area!
-
Not going to do me any good if it is what the GP and I both think it is again!
Bloody kidney stones evil:
Hence the bottle to pee in. Let's wait and see what the tests reveal before we start spending money eh?

Not sure about that.
Female friend of mine visited one for over 10 years because of back/leg problems caused by being well endowed and having small feet.
Went to the hospital and was found to have arthritic hip and no back problem - hip was replaced eventually. They didn;t want to do it because she was so young and will therefore need another replacement.
-
I am sure there are dodgy ones just as there are good ones. All I can say is, mine sorted me out a treat. From unable to stand up straight or sit down comfortably to practically normal in one treatment. Follow ups every month for six months and touch wood no further problems.
-
. . . back/leg problems caused by being well endowed and having small feet.
Never troubled me.
-
Shi-ite my back hurts! I'm going to od a little on the painkillers and go to bed.
Goo'night Johnboy.

On Friday (regular readers will recall that I "gave a sample" on Tuesday last) I got a 'phone call from the surgery. "The Path Lab think they have found an 'infection' but want another sample to recheck, can you collect a bottle from us and return it full by 11.30?"
Just the sort of message to induce panic but knowing the local NHS that usually means someone has cocked up the test and they don't want to admit to it. They have done this with my blood samples in the past ::)
So I obliged.
Yesterday, under the influence of a lovely afternoon weather wise and too many painkillers I decided to get on and replace 5 fence panels. I had the new ones in the garage ~ what could possibly go wrong?
Well the new fence looks very nice. Two small boys are going to break up the old panels for kindling this morning and SWWLTBO is "pleased".
I can hardly move this morning and still have one panel to fit. surrender:

Sounds as if your back is a bit better Snoops. happy088

Unfortunately not. Case of grit teeth, od on nice painkillers and "go for it". Hurts like hell again this morning.
Still ~ at the Docs at 1030 so perhaps some answers. Fingers crossed but he'll prolly say it's muscular or summat.

Arrived at surgery at 10.25 for 10.30 appointment. Waited until called in to see Doctor at 11.27. He looked at me blankly ~ I looked at him.
He said "What can I do for you?"
I said "You told me last Monday to return today for the results of the tests so here I am"
He said "Oh yes. We wanted another sample."
Me "I supplied a second sample on Friday at 10.15 in plenty of time for the lab collection at 11.30"
He said "Did you?"
Me "Yes"
He said "I'll look on the 'pooter and see if we have a result yet" Tappity tap tap tap on keyboard "Oh, they haven't posted the results yet, prolly means they are still growing cultures on them then. Uhmmmmm ..... Can you ring in the morning and see if the results are back?"
Me Explode:
-
10.30 Phoned surgery as instructed ....................
"Oh yes Mr Snoopy we got the results back this morning"
"And?????"
"I can't tell you ~ the Doctor hasn't seen them yet, can you ring again after 1?" Banghead
-
As the targets multiply they seem to get more useless. There was something in the Torygraph on Saturday about the experience of seeing a French doctor. That seemed to werk. We have seen GPs in Spain. Walk in, say hello, tell them what's wrong. Job done
-
Spoke again to gerl at surgery.
"Doctor says that he is happy with the results. There is no blood in your urine so he thinks it isn't kidney stones and there are no indications of a kidney infection"
"So where do we go from here because I still have the pain"
"Doctor didn't say" Banghead
