seen the osteopath on Monday (was a bit wary to be honest) anyway it wasn’t too unpleasant a experience and the lower back pain is a bit easier . I’m doing the simple exercises he gave me and they are getting easier. still have the upper back and ribcage spasms , have tried to get in to see my doc as I now require a note for work " nothing till middle of next week “” they have got me a appointment at the local access centre (the hospital) . they don’t issue sick notes but they will be able to give me something for the pain . how do the unemployed fill their day ■■ I’m bored bored bored !!! honestly cant wait to get sorted and get back to work .
