Latest interim payment arrived yesterday, two months after being agreed. Fortunately this should cover my loss of earnings, so I can stop sweating. Ended up having acupuncture yesterday from the physio after she battered my back.
I have a "one on one" pilates session tomorrow, with a view to going to their classes. Whilst I have gym membership, the physio said this will work out more cost effective than seeing her every week - so going down to physio every two weeks, and pilates once a week. This is in small groups so they can stop me doing too much.
I've now got a good range of spinal movement, and when bending there is a good curve. My pain is all muscular now. I've seen a huge difference after just 5 physio sessions.
