– You thought the pain would just go away on it’s own – but it didn’t?
– Your pain finally subsided….just to return a few days or weeks later?
– You visited the Doctor, just to be told to ‘rest’ and ‘take some painkillers’ – but weeks later you are still in pain?
– You finally have the doctor refer you to a NHS physio – but you’re still waiting months later.
– You finally see the NHS physio just to be given a sheet of exercises that do little to ease your pain.
– After all this you decide to try some more rest, but you are in just as much pain and getting stiffer.
– You are told by your friends and family that it’s ‘just a part of life’ and ‘everybody gets aches and pains as they get older’.
– You can no longer do the things you used to enjoy.
