Thursday 10 January 2008 – New Year, same pains

It has now been three weeks since I had the Xray on my spine and I am still awaiting the results. In the meantime, I have ceased taking the anti inflammatory drugs and I am back on painkillers, the same ones I ran out of over the Christmas holiday due to the ineptitude of one of the receptionists at my GPs surgery. Thanks to her I had a bad time between Christmas and New Year with increased pains.
My partner and I have been into my place of work to see the Occupational Health Nurse whom will look into how to best approach my eventual return to work. She will need a report from my GP first, but more importantly I need to have a diagnosis on what is causing the back pains before I even attempt a return to work.
