I'm really P I'd
Yesterday I received some literature from the Doctor in regards to the idiopathic brachial neuritis.
The title in very large font says
"Pain you can not ignore"
Which is a complete slap in the face because not only did this healthcare professional ignore any mention by myself of the pain in my arm but became angry with me after I asked when the pain in my arm would be addressed after the diagnosis of adhesive capulitis and told me in harsh terms to talk to the pyshio about it.
The pyshio isn't able to order scans or provide diagnosis.
Thankfully the pyshio listened but only after much repeated whinging and sent a letter to the Doctor recommending an MRI.
To add even more insult to injury she is now patting herself on the back for arranging this diagnosis when she fought me the whole way
Before anyone suggests getting another Doctor I've tried and was told in no uncertain terms by the other Doctor that I went to for a second opinion that I have to stay with my treating physician.
If you have a great Doctor hang onto them
When I lived in Adelaide I had a fantastic Doctor.

A physiotherapist can teach you to manage the problem, a good ethical one that is. I never found one! I was driven to learn for myself through obtaining books like Mechanical diagnosis of the neck or back and therapy by Robin Mckenzie (see youtube videos)

 


Signatures suck.

Joz, I'm taking some medication that has actually had an effect on the idiopathic brachial neuritis.
It hasn't totally removed all the pain but a great deal of it.
Myself I think I still have an underlying injury that is now responsible for the pain I'm experiencing.
I did actually injure my arm before any of the complications.
I am still having to deal with the adhesive capulitis being a seperate issue.
The pyshio I've been seeing is pretty good and I probably wouldn't have been able to get the MRI without her help

I have a recipe for an Aussie steak.
I cook up a rump steak medium rare.
I top it with a meat pie, upside down of course.
Fried onions, tomato, bacon, mushrooms and capsicum and some freshly ground pepper
If you're really lashing out some grated cheese on top.
You won't see that on MasterChef

I don't know if anyone else has been checking out the Collins Street Falcons but I must have the worst timing ever.
Haven't seen hide or hair of either of the parents for at least a week.
The chicks look happy so they must be still around but where I have no idea
No idea are really easy to shoot
They can't see you coming.
Sorry for the gun owners humour if it offends

Lyndal. I never complain if my poor spelling is pointed out.
I believe spelling is important and prefer to have my mistakes pointed out.
I know I can be a thorny individual in regards to my opinions but I don't get upset when I've been caught out with my spelling or grammar.
I accept my corrections in those regards

I'll remember that Martin.

Even if you don't take offence at being corrected there are plenty of posters who will take offence on your behalf.

 

Just get into the habit of using spellcheck.....it only takes a few seconds and then there will be no finger pointing.
