What a joke my appointment was re numb arms dodgy knee.
Like really how is standing like a tea pot going to cure my knee and lack of sensation in my arm as well A’s numbness.
Hallo ... where is was my induction test GOSH well he got both barrels and my gp is going to an all.
Truly is pits as with dodgy lungs you get chest pains given all lung coughing up you do AND to have arm pain numbness WELL anyone with half marble would think it’s the heart and the having heart attack.
Anyway I was NOT to hard on guy but did let him know AM far from happy.
And to be honest he was stumped 🤔 and kept levering room to ask advice.
So what do I know WELL my arm as loss of sensation and I did not screem when he nearly riped my arm off.
As to cause WELL lot of running out of the room and head scratching.
Hi Jeff I had to laugh at the thought of you standing like a tea pot, joking aside this physio idea these days seems like a fob off in many cases. I am doing Physio for my previous shoulder injury but feel a bit like you, I have now been referred to a pain clinic , but even that seems strange as the choices site say it should be somewhere else very confusing, afraid help with pain is very much DIY these days or addictive painkillers which the government don't really want you to take. The numbness is a different matter think that should be investigated , it could be a sign of something more serious as you suggest yourself. Anyway have Physio today & pain management clinic in July. Going away for a few days in August, could do with longer break really but it's better than no break like yourself and others on this site. Stay cool when you see the GP but make sure he/she understands your not impressed with treatment.
But like you say in all seriousness that’s how all my trouble started 5 years ago WAS same thing stoped me working THEN I ended up with sepsis rash and pneumonia.
What happened then is not going to happen again AS to pain is defo irritating for sure as you too aware.
Anyway don’t forget to wave your hands in the air next time at physo like you don’t care AND enjoy ya jollies HAVE vodka orange 🍊 for me.
Not sure about Vodka & orange, but vodka & lime might fit the bill or a large glass of wine, or perhaps a double whisky . I'll make sure I wave my hands at physio that way they might notice the swollen joints or mishapened shoulder joint. Or maybe I should take my shoes off so they can see my gouty toe joint too. Could do with a selfy xray machine to keep the facts upto date. I still smile against all odds and enjoy hols and social outings. Bye for now
Yup, the NHS physio treatment wasn't even offered me for my damaged shoulder cuff - just told it would get better with time, but not to so the things that make it hurt (driving, playing keyboards, working at computer). I'm lucky enough to be able to afford private physio treatment which made an immediate improvement with massage, acupuncture and exercises. The physio I see was astounded that I had never had any follow up after dislocating my shoulder in 1977 and the initial treatment then.
I also use an osteopath at times when I think there may be some problems with the joints.
