My doctor seem to think I've got a back problem

Just been to my doctor and told him everything and he seem to think I've gone a back problem, and he has refered me to a back specialist also given me co-co-codamol too. I've have only took 1 tab now as I am in work which I'm dreading also he has given me a letter for work to have regular rest break. Just

Hope the understand too. I've think that is what I'm more worried about is that my work don't understand how I feel. . Job t hope they understand.

A letter from a consultant IS an instruction to an employer or a gp. they must accept this instruction otherwise be taken to a tribunal- there are some that will try it on and say they cannot accomodate your needs but it IS a try on, there are good advisors at the local job centre and welfare rights offices who would back you should this happen.

Look after yourself, both at home and at work. Pacing yourself is difficult at times, but it does make a difference! x
