ladyholly said:I can sympathise with motivating your DH. Mine has a classic car in the garage which needs major work which he cant do . Not because he doesnt have the skills but he is simply not fit enough but will he get rid of it. No and all the time it is worth less and less."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".

Do you live anywhere near an osteopath training college. Most big cities have one. It might be worth having a few sessions to see if you are aligned. They are training for exams so very closely monitored. Fees are low.

Well done on your PADsA quick google suggests that there's nothing around here, but osteopathy is not something I've ever considered before and it sounds like it might be worth a go. The pain seems to be working up my body - foot pain has gone, knee pain is improving, and now it's my thighs. If it doesn't clear up in a few more weeks, I might suck it up and go for a consultation.
