Got a letter this morning saying I have an appoinbtment at work with Occupational Health This friday at 11am.
It says on the letter to take any appointments, medication or any other information that relates to my condition.
Now I havn't got my physio appointment through yet. The doc just told me to buy Ibuprofene which at 3 packs for a pound is cheaper than a prescription and I have no written proof yet of my diagnosis.
Should I make an appointment tomorrow to try and see the doctor to see if he will give me a letter stating whats wrong with me. I need a new sicknote anyway for friday.
Also anyone have any idea what will happen at this appointment. I've never had one before. I've only been off work 4 wks, but have been off quite a few times the last few months but that was with depression and dizzy spells.
Thanks Carol xxx

Yes I would go and see your GP and have a chat...
I was of work for a long time last year and my GP put ' painful knee,under investigation' on sick notes....
Please dont worry as it can take a long time for a diagnois with some conditions..
Cant really help with the meeting as I just have meetings with HR and they get a medical report done...
Can you take someone with you for support?
Let me know how you get on.
love

They are able to recommend adjustments to your workplace to get you back to work as well.
You dont need to ask the gp for a letter, they can ask for this and besides the gp will probably charge you. Say what you have posted on here, about your physio appt etc, they are not there to catch you out or anything.
They will be supportive, so dont worry!
Keep us posted onto how you get on and good luck for friday

Haven't really got anyone I could take with me. I may actually have to take the kids with me if hubby can't get the time off work to watch them for me. (and that will be fun not,) They don't really give you much time to plan, 2 days notice do they.
