At last my appointment for physiotherapy has arrived. Unexpectedly there is also an appointment for occupational therapy which as far as I know was not asked for and is not wanted. Does anyone have any idea whether this would be useful to me as I don't work? I already use a lot of devices to help me in my day-to-day life,…
Hi I'm in my early twenties and have suffered from back pain for years. After having to convince my gp I needed an MRI I found out last week I have degenerative Arthritis in my back. I'm in pain every day and it could get worse. I'm confused and scared as to how this happened and what the future looks like. I'm thankful…
I'm just wondering if this happens to anyone else as my doctors can't seem to tell me what's wrong this happens a few times a week especially the hands where they start tingling and burning end result is he swelling

My NHS area is West Herts and they hold a seminar for all hip/knee replacement patients but is up to you if you attend or not . I did and so glad as I found it really useful and interesting. They explained everything to you from the moment you get into your bed untill 3 months down the line....I recently read article by…
Well everyone I'm off for my 6 week blood test, I was naughty and missed the last one so I expect to get a telling off, but what with my holiday and having tummy bug it was a no go. I don't expect pocket duties as they should be for appointments with Doctors & Consultants.
