[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2399357, member: 521172"] Hiya yeah all still good, although my BP has gone up a bit due to being off the meds so either hoping the GP on Monday will re prescribe Amlodipine or try another med. I don't know what it is about NHS physios and the like when it comes to "injuries" and muscular or skeletal issues. Any other health problem you would be sent for tests, scans etc to find out what the problem is before suggesting any treatment but bar an x-ray on the foot last year they always seem reluctant to examine the injury correctly and send for scans. I can remember in my football days I used to see a couple of private physios. They would generally diagnose then you would sit there with ultrasound or electrode treatment etc. I even had a long standing hamstring issue that two appointments with a kinesiologist sorted. That was weird though I admit. They deal with pressure points and I was sceptical but after 6 months of feeling like I was being shot in the back of the leg every time I put my socks on I haven't had the problem since! He wasn't cheap though. £60 a session and that was over 10 years ago. These telephone appointments are bizarre I agree with you. In one I had to stand my phone up whilst on a video call to the consultant and point the phone at my feet whilst trying to listen to him. It was impossible! I too miss the days of ringing the surgery and getting an appointment on the day. Problem is I think originally my surgery had something like 6 thousand patients and 8 GP's. Now they have about 35,000 patients with the same number of GP's! [/QUOTE]
