    In my 'limited' experience, (just had one), I would say don't worry. The health professionals are usually very sympathetic and quite supportive of 'genuine' people. IMO they're there to fend off the shirkers.

    Hi Tracy

    l have no experience but l have read a lot on here.

    If I can I will try to bump some up for you (threads that is!!)

    My only suggestion is that you do NOT attempt what hurts you and keep your OH with you.

    Love
