    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    I'm interested in your system. Do you mean that you have one appointment each week?

    Where I live, you have one appointment every 3 months if you're lucky, same as Rheumy appointment.
    Do let us know what they do each week

    Hi, That sounds different to here. I've been once and will go gain in Nov I think. I thought it was this week, but then checked the card last night and its not for a while! :? The change to slow release tramadol is helping more than the ordinary tablets did, so I'm off to a good start. He is referring me, he said to a specialist spinal physio, but I haven't had an appointment through yet. Do let us know how it goes! Good luck Sue

    Hi there

    I hope you find them as helpful as I did. I had awful sciatica before visiting them, I mean crawling on the floors howling with it and no pain killers touched it. After being seen by them it's totally gone, only appearing once when I missed my tablets.

    They are really helpful, they ask lots of questions and don't rush you. They are really on your side and want to help make your life the best it can be.

    Good luck

    Eck

    Hi Sue
    I was put on to Tramadol earlier this year and find they are helping me too. Do you find them making you dizzy though.
