Oestopath off topic

[medway-lady]

Well at the weekend I stupidly as my husband was away playing golf, decided to sort out top of wardrobe for charity shop. And my reward was, I hurt my back. Nothing too serious just sciatic inflammation so I rang usual old Oestopath and he’s away on his holiday. But his associate could fit me in. Result! So off I went and saw the most delightful young Italian chap with a voice that could melt ice but had hands like a vice. He sorted the problem so pain has mostly gone, but of course and luckily I need to get it checked again next week. So I’ve done the exercises and used the frozen peas etc. But it’s true you know your old when policeman, doctors, dentists and Osteopaths could be your great grandchild, not grandchild. The delightful Oestopath sounded so gentle I was lulled into a sense of false relaxation then he said tell me on a pain scale of one to ten when this gets to about seven. I mean what’s ten if seven was my broken leg? But I was able to walk out after hobbling in.

So the lesson is if it’s out of reach just get a step as that twist cost £45 but on the up side he was lovely. And explained how real Italians make carbonara (no cream) and you mustn’t put pineapple on pizza. lol

Hope your back feels better soon ml. I had a similar experience with a lovely young Greek chiropractor prior to RA diagnosis. She had a lovely gentle manner then proceeded to crack my bones all over the place!

Sounds as though he's a good osteopath, especially if he's providing Italian recipes. Take care in future.

Hope the sciatic gobble stops soon

Glad you feel recovered, does help when the practitioner is a lovely person even when the treatment is still painful.😉

Like the sound of that guy.

It’s eggs isn’t it for carbonara and you’ve got to keep some of your pasta water though - first time I made it I forgot that bit ☹️ and I’m with you - I do love pineapple on my pizza. Hope your leg is still doing well.

Yes egg yolks , pasta,pecorino and lardons! I like a touch of pineapple too.

He has sorted it so I can now walk without any ouch. I’ve recommended him to my friend who’s got a shoulder pain. I did tell her his voice and hair might sooth and distract but the hands are a different matter. I love pineapple as well but we were discussing real Italian food. I’m going ask him how his Nona makes gnocchi I like that but never made it. X
