Well that was another pointless NHS Physio visit. I mentioned my issues, he said "you are doing too much". I can apparently go back to work but half day, here, half day there - explained I can't sit upright. Oh, and I don't need to go back. Absolute waste of my time. The physio was obviously an expert having not even looked at me (new physio today).

The plan is speak to work tomorrow, get referred to occupational health and get a phased return to work - doubt I'll be doing my role and may end up as the dogs body, but at least I can get back.

I can't believe how the two NHS Physio's have dismissed going private, for hands on manipulation. I have two very visibly swollen back muscles near the break - like two big lumps.

I'll be mentioning the poor service to my Consultant.

Good luck with your phased return to work. Having been off for 3 months after being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and Fybromyalgia i started returning to work in February for 4hrs twice a week. I had to drop it to one lot of 4hrs as i returned to quick but 4 weeks ago i, along with my Dr decided that a full day was in order. I felt liked i had turned a corner and going to work was keeping me in the loop with what was going on and with my collegues plus it was building my stamina back up. Good for mental and physical health or so i thought.

OH then decided that i could not return to work until i could manage 16hrs a week so i had to go sick again. I was on course to be doing 16hrs by the end of May so why could they not just let me continue as i was? Is it not better tohave me do some work than none at all?

I am incredibly p***ed off with this random decision. The NHS process for CF recovery is called Pacing and involves just that. Anybody can read about it on the internet. I am now waiting for OH , after weeks of requesting them, to get my medical records and get me an appointment to see the CMO. Hopefully he/she will see sense.

I do a pretty demanding job i know and it really relies on close teamwork so isolating you from your team is not helpful especially when you live some distance away from where you work.

Sorry for the rant but there comes a time when doing everything you can at home to get well and fitter for work is not enough and you need to put your toe in the water and start to return gradually.

I hope you have better luck with your OH @fossyant .

Yikes. Biggest battle will be to get a parking permit. If I eventually get forced to use public transport, I'll leave as it's going to take upto 90 minutes to travel 9 miles. Cycling is off the cards permanently. They want medical evidence - I'll just send my hospital release notes.

for @Hill Wimp and a firm handshake for @fossyant .

Finally twigged that by OH you mean occupational health, normally on tinternet OH means 'Other Half', I thought there was a secret Hills was keeping from us.

I think Hils has taken out a super injunction on that issue......so we had better not be discussing it.

My silence can be bought with pies.

Yes confused me at first

That rumour about Ivy Benson and Her All Girl Band has never been proven.

So in October we are off to see Kraftwerk in Bilbao. Yesterday, China Crisis announced they are playing near me on the same night. Then today Seasick Steve said he is playing his only UK gig at Wembley the same evening... I am might miffed. But the question is; is this a first World problem or a Middle Class problem? Alternatively, am I just showing off
