Some of the more eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that Stickywicket hasn't been about over the past ten days or so. There's a good reason; not having done so for some time she decided to keep her hand in and went to hospital to test NHS resources. I'm pleased to say they haven't been found wanting. I won't go into…
If anyone is free next Thursday (23rd) at 3:30pm to attend pocket duties for my MRI review with my Ortho consultant, I'll appreciate it. Hopefully I'll find out what is exactly wring with my knee, and see where it goes from there. Alastair
Anyone have any advice for pain in my wrists please? I struggle to open these horrible plastic bottle with the "squeeze tops" I am lucky my husband can do them for me. Also can openers. Holding a fork to whisk things is also getting painful. Doctor just says take paracetamol and am allowed to take up to 8 a day. I avoid…

Hi guys, Would appreciate pocket duties tomorrow at 4:15pm. It’s MRI time for me (lumbar spine this time) and I am very, very nervous! :( Just trying to think of the good it may hopefully bring and I will finally be closer to a proper diagnosis.
Bit of a strange question but just wondered if anyone else has strange hallucinations at night? I have started taking 50mg of amitriptyline and 4 times now I have woke up suddenly seeing a huge spider on my window, convinced it's real I jump up and turn in the light but nothing there. It seems so real at the time and quite…
Hi Now that the weather is getting colder, I'm struggling with my hands especially when out. I've been using the disposable hand warmers and the gel ones in my gloves but having trouble keeping my fingers and the joints warm. Anyone have and advice or tips. Thanks in advance Hobble
Finally (I've been on sick leave since early in the summer term) my application for ill health retirement is being sent off today! The most recent hold up was when the OH doctor said it wasn't his job to complete my medical form! Because of this I had another referral to him and another sickness absence review meeting in…
