Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostMy good news is that, having increasingly suffering with acute shoulder pain for the past month, finally resorting to painkillers for the past week, but with minimal benefit, I am now to see a doctor at my regular practice at 2.30pm this coming Saturday. People have widely been complaining of difficulties in getting to see GPs for many months, reporting restrictions and malfunctions in booking arrangements. I just walked into the practice on my way back from the local shops a few minutes ago, and not even in any expectation of being seen to, more likely fobbed off, given the circumstances and that.

Good to hear.

But it is just a suspicion.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Originally posted by teamsaint View PostI have a suspicion that the strikes are designed to be as visible as possible ( ie in a few locations with TV cameras nearby) whilst in fact causing relatively minor disruption to all concerned including the doctors.
But it is just a suspicion.
Or perhaps they are not visible enough...

Firstly, without explanation of any kind, I am now once again able to access What's New? - having for several weeks been forced to go through a rigmarole of clicking the Forum button and then each of the sub-forums that might hold something of latest interest.
Secondly, finding myself in marginally less pain and discomfort than over the past week, having applied one of the Deep Heat patches to my left shoulder that I acquired a fortnight ago. Not that the problem, now some 6 weeks in the making, has by any means gone away - I am still needing to take a couple of Paracetamols every 4 hours and trying at all costs to avoid sneezing.

Originally posted by smittims View PostWell, let's hope the pain continues to wane. If it's sunny where you are try sitting outside; you might hear a blackbird, see a squirrel and feel better.
If and until this gets sorted the lesson has to be doing anything strenuous, such as spring cleaning, has to take place during mornings.

Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostThanks! Unfortunately it returned with a vengeance after lunch, and the same is happening right now - for some reason the painkillers + Deep Heat patches or cream don't seem to work from midday on, although I did, as it happens, experience relief when sunbathing in the garden a few weeks ago when it was just about warm enough to do so, which seemed to corroborate the "heat treatment" effect in a different way!

As a loyal Nationwide customer, I'm one of those who'll be receiving a £100 boost in my Flex account next month.
No room on the shelves for a big new box set, but if there were, what gets the vote at present?
I'm sure ts will have some suggestions.
(There's probably a thread more suited to this: Bargains, maybe?)
