Does the NHS physio have a quick access time, to avoid having to go back to the GP? Our local physio dept has certain times that you can just turn up without a GP referral and be seen.

Well the new painkillers aren't making much difference so far. I'm now on codeine 30s and have taken 4 so far on and just took an extra naproxen. Soooooooooo frustrating. We've ate out or had loads of takeaways this week as just not coping with the day to day hassles of cooking. Hopefully DH will cook us a roast dinner tomorrow - if we make extra it can last a few days.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

I hope you can get some answers with your leg soon. It sounds awful. Glad your work are being good about it though."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee2

Well far from making me sleepy - the codeine kept me awake until 7am - Saturday into Sunday. I then went to bed most of the day. Last night I got to sleep around 3-3.30am. Got a doctor's appointment this morning to discuss. I've been sent a letter today confirming a referral has been sent for me - but not for what - and no date yet. The only distraction that works to forget the pain is painting...Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Thanks SSDD23
Well the doctor has given me a new medication to try instead of Cocodomol. Let's hope this one does the trick.
About to have leftover sunday roast for dinner. Then want to see if I can do some work. I have a short report to write. Will see whether I am up to doing anything else on top. I should have gone in for a meeting - but I've given my feedback verbally and asked a team member to go in my place.

What have they given you? Did you find out what the referral was for?

Hope the meds are helping and that things are improving, (((hugs)))I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy3
