[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2326460, member: 521172"] Well interesting visit to the GP. Metatarsalgia is the foot pain diagnosis and referral to the physio and musculoskeletal clinic sometime probably in 2025!! The irony being it was probably caused by all the walking I did between March and September. How's that for the result of exercise! Body weight at 79kg thus giving me a BMI of 28.12 so lowest it's been since June 17. A drop of 4kg since July and probably all that walking and walking about when I was back at work so it's not dropping off at an alarming rate so he didn't seem over concerned. You know your mind is in a tizz when you worry about "losing" weight! He then clarified that I had quit work and understood and incredibly offered me a fit note for the DWP if required. Amazingly he placed on it [I]"risk factors for covid complications, diabetes, high BMI, health anxiety"[/I]. Huh?! you couldn't get one of these from a GP a month ago mentioning anything about Covid!! Bizarrely however he ticked the [I]"you may be fit for work taking into account the following advice - amended duties." [/I]So probably rendering the fit note fairly useless in many ways! Strange times indeed! [/QUOTE]
