    please where have i said i don't want to work ?
    When i say my job search is now aimed at work sitting down call centres and production work I meet up with divisibility careers officer in j monthly she very helpful, she calls me home when call centre work comes in that isn't even on job centre boards

    please where have i said i don't think of them who are really disablement an imagine how they feel like,, hell come on people ,,, has this site really resorted to vulchering people with quires twisting what they saying an voicing their own judgements on folks rather stick to agenda of answering key points

    quote bestbud "I'm afraid it seems like you don't want to work and your GP feels frustrated by your negativity."

    emmell quoted "I doubt if you would get DLA just for a bad knee, I wouldn't even try, and as for not being able to work, how do you think people who are really disabled manage to work, because a lot do.
    ML."


    i simply mean i focus on driving, production which ive done most my life production lines assemblers,, but now call centre work, it really make sense been told u need a new knee but too young then apply for every labouring job or landscape gardening , did i really come across as lazy
    my god is ther any need for this kinda of reply....i was was working as a van delivery driver till feb 09 loading vans which is what relly what prompted me to see help with gp as the pain was becoming PROGRESSIVE as my title shows,, to beyond ignoring it... I just had bad experience with 1st attempt meds they give me an i mean give me really bad experience,, went with sore knee ended up with sore knee an 3 week gut ache
    Did i deserved that them reply for been precautions about wat to do next,,, Yes i read the injection isnt 100% so weighing all options even as i type this the Dr been short with me because im negative ,,this is all uncalled for i only asked him if it possible ive got an ulcer from meds as i read they can cause this.. an he was short with me

    i have really bad knee, and in agony , the pain clinic did inject my knee, which was brilliant, pain free for 4 weeks, then it just wore off, i am waiing to be refered to surgeon now, as surgery is my last hope of being pain free, go see another doctor, took me a few times to see one that would listen, and set the ball rollign with x rays

    Some people here dont realise you can be awarded DLA and be working at the same time, can you be awarded DLA for a period of time rather than indefinately ?
