Good evening Judy, Crosby, Vintage and the elusive Count:-D
The public system takes for ever, but with a bit of luck maybe while you are waiting Crosby, something may just come up that will help your back.
Physio, unfortunately didnt help me, mainly because I was born with my spinal problems & now, I dont think I would trust anyone other than the pain management dr. to touch my spine as it is so thin down at the base of the spine, that showed up in the MRI I had recently.
Oestopaths (sp) I have never been to one, but as friend of mine is going now, and from what she says they are very good, and they dont crunch the spine like Chiros do, so you could try that, maybe, also Remedial Masages or sports masages can be helpful to, but if you go that track, make sure they are good ones.
I cant have them, as they just take one look at my spine and wont touch it.
They are just over avenues that you can look into.
Agree with Judy, the Glucosamine & fish oil do take awhile to work, but stay with it.
Anyway my w/end was dull and so was the weather, had the grandies friday night, wore me out mentally and physically.
I will finish on a good note, Isla went back to the hospital for her 6 monthly visit for her hip..........instead of having to go back in another 6 months, she doesnt have to go back for 2yrs. The specialists said her hip was in place and they were happy with her progress and by the time she goes back, her limp and the way she walks should be normal as well..........my DD was elated, something had gone right for a change............goodnight:-)
