regular exercise organized by physio from here
I have to attend on line video conference on how pain works
I have to look at by 12 months to be drug free
ok step one starts yesterday
physio examined me I have got a pain level around 7 to 9 out of ten normal in goes from 5 to 9 out of ten so she said
In your present condition i would not try to get you to do any thing you spinal injury is far to unstable to work with she said she would do more damage so step one cancelled lol
she is also concerned about me sitting down to watch a lesson on pain for over an hour lol
so chances are the entire new system they want will be cancelled my GP said I will more than be on narcotics for life and the people with new injuries will be treated differently .
all this has caused stress and more pain and a total wast of my time doctors need to speak to a patient not tell them what to do

This is exactly why I don't trust medical "professionals". Sure I've probably got enough wrong with me that it balances out (ala Mr. Burns) but for so called professionals to guess whats wrong with you and put your life at risk? Sorry I'll pass. My ex was and still is a good example of doctors not knowing what they study with real life experience.
My update is I'm good. I don't feel half as bad as I used to.
