good news though mil got out of hospital today so that is one less thing to worry about

negatives - ouch.......and no money

positives - it could get better in a few weeks, you can get it sorted, and mil is out of hospital.

aieeee, El, I'm sorry to hear this - mind you, I'm glad its something fixable. Do you know anything about why it happens, what might slow it or help the reabsorption?

Choose and book should let you go anywhere.

Hope it gets better soon.

Kc I think it is due to the car accidents .... That's when the pain first started and according to the net it is due to the healing process after trauma

z what's choose and book? Never heard of it

have done my scratchies another 10p ...checked the banks ...£43 in the red so far (not good) phoned uni i have an appointment with disability next week for help for writting etc as i cant write can only type left handed...phoned a physio therapist (the same one hubby saw) i have an appointment with him for monday i explained what the problem was and he seems to think i have alternatives to an op which include shock wave therapy, needles etc etc ...went to college handed my work in they have agreed i can carry on just watching etc just now till my shoulder is better then i can play catch up....have to still sit down with finances and see where i stand ...i think i will know better next week if i can go back to work or not ...pain killers are not working for me just now so i might need to try other ones
