Cheers Marcus  :)

I got a bit frustrated with my gp because he didnt seem able to understand that the pain is in my hip and my back.....he only seemed to be able to cope with one or the other.. but Ive managed to skip him altogether and get refered for my back by my hip surgeon. Which has not only speeded things up a lot but it also means Im getting taken seriously.

My back is an on going issue...I tore 3 discs in my early 30s..apparently, according to the consultant that I saw back then, I was born with a flat lower spine...so all the sport has taken its toll on my back. This surgeon/consultant seems a lot more upbeat than the one from years ago, as to what he can do for me.....so fingers crossed...2012 could be my year  ;)

GP's are s***e!! Why do they always make something simple like sending you to the correct specialist so hard? I'll never get over the row i had with mine when he said the surgeon who did my hip scope had made up the fact i had grade 4 OA! I remember him saying something like ive never seen it in 30 years of practice ::)
Chris i seriously hope you get to the bottom of your issues and get them put right.

again for what its worth
i found a book Treat Your Own Back
by Robin McKenzie
was better than anything
simple quick sensible
was given book by physio which was strange as he doesnt believe in their treatment
see if you can get in library
