I'm back! A little sore and tired but ok. I thought I had cracked my coccyx several years ago and have been having steroid injections for a long time. They are less and less effective. As I have already had a claim on my Medical Insurance this year because of the Chronic Urticaria I decided to get a second opinion. I then found out I had fractured it and it had fused back together in a hook shape (severely deformed). The Consultant asked about previous injections and was :eek: when I said I was awake for them before. It looks like I will have to have the coccyx removed but as a last ditch attempt I have had the steroid injections again today under GA, and the coccyx has been manipulated. Fingers crossed it will help.

Worrying thing was though when I saw Consultant he also told me I had Spina Bifida Occulta and Degenerative Disc Disease:eek::eek:. :eek: He said we will deal with these afterwards.

Have to say if anyone ever has any choice on which hospital they can use, the BMI Thornbury at Sheffield is outstanding. :T:T:T

I used to have very back pain in my coccyx. I think I fell on it whilst drunk once. I had to have injections in it about every 3 months. They are very painful.:( In the end they were not really helping with the pain so I ended up having my coccyx removed. The op and after was not too bad and although I still get some pain sometimes, it is nowhere near as painful as it used to be.

I'm so flippin annoyed at myself! I bought a part for my car from ebay last month only to discover it was the wrong thing I'd ordered returned to seller who said they would gladly refund. Checked my paypal account last night for refund but there is nothing there. Emailed seller last night asking how much longer it would take, they mailed back this morning saying they could'nt find my return and asking for the tracking number. Went to look for post office receipt and I've only gone and sent it first class so no tracking number :eek:
Sorry for venting here, just so angry with myself :mad:

If you have a PO receipt you can claim back from them:

and if he is pulling a fast one then you can leave it to the PO to deal with

Thanks for this info wackynut, glad to hear you are much better now. Perhaps the op will not be as bad as I think it is.

Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

A woman's heart beats faster than a man's.

There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.

A number of years ago someone called my other half (before we met) to sell him a conservatory. They had a lovely conversation. Then it got to the bit where they wanted to come round to talk....at which point the address was confirmed. You can't miss it said he.....its a first floor flat.

Oh says the salesman before putting the phone down. He had a great time.

I did something simliar. I had a call about conservatories and I said I had often thought it would be lovely to have one but aren't they expensive? Oh no she said, we have many deals, you'd be surprised. So we had a long chat and eventually made an appointment for them to come to quote. Giving them the address I said that's great, I just never thought I'd ever be able to get a conservatory on a maisonette, oh that reminds me, you will have to remind them to ring downstairs to be let into the stairwell before coming up the 2 flights of stairs. Oddly, she put the phone down .... and no-one came to quote .... and I did wait in for them :rotfl: :rotfl:

But they are sooooo annoying. We once had someone knock on the door canvassing for kitchens ........ while we were having a new kitchen fitted ....... with the workman sawing and cabinets sitting outside :rotfl: :rotfl:

Afternoon :wave:

I've never done a JTD shop before so could one of you please answer my query?

If I buy 3x Comfort Concentrate Fabric Conditioner 85 washes (3L) for £12 from Tesco, they're normally £5 each in Tesco and they're £3 each in Asda at the moment. My question is would I gain anything by buying them from Tesco? Many thanks in advance for any help

Oh no! Do you suspect he's pulling a fast one?:eek:

I'm not sure, they have 100% feedback. I sent it back in the box it came in - stuck sellers address over mine - I wonder if they've received it but it's been put back with other stock because of the packaging iykwim
