I am paying the for being unbreakable as a teenagerSeen an osteopath years ago.
I had an injury when I was about 12,
hit a telegraph pole on me push horse don't askQuack said that the muscles
have grown around the injury whilst me bod was still developing.
Fractured collar bone.
Years later and i'm now paying for it.
Dislocated shoulder twice in 6 weeks, needed rest, physio and maybe an op but bloody stupid superman here didn't bother, instead i went back to work and just got on with it
Move on 20 years and something isnt right (no suprise) follow that with a further 14 years of on and off physio a truck full of painkillers and a bloody cortisone injection (never again) before finally a switched on physio spotted that is wasn't the shoulder that was the problem but the neck muscles being fecked up as i had been unknowingly carrying the injury and trying to protect it for all those years
The result according to our wonderful nhs is its too bloody late mate oh and you cant have anymore of the only painkillers that have helped as its fecking up your stomach, and I am well and truly screwed

If you can afford it then you're better off paying for a good sports physio or chiropractor than bothering with NHS physios.I am paying the for being unbreakable as a teenager

The wife has seen both in the past for her back problem and typically pays around £30 a session.
Emphasis on the word "good", BTW. It's well worth asking around as both of the one's that she uses were from word of mouth recommendations.
Absolutely 100% agree. Leaving my dislike of the organisation in general, NHS physios are not the best. I have two go-to physios (one’s a 400 mile round trip and the other is a 14,000 mile round trip
) and one osteopath (another 400 mile round trip). A good one is worth their weight in diamonds.
Assuming they've given you the correct exercises, they should help.
Made it worse.
The injury does not like repetition.
Yep...That's the one.
Rubber bands...Didn't help.
Cortisone...Temp relief.
Acupuncture...Temp relief.
Fire cupping therapy...Temp relief.
Surgery is probably the final solution
& that is only a 50-50 chance of having
full mobility.
I did the rubber band exercises also and it worked.
Unfortunately my physio died, prostate cancer found too late.
But I discovered my neighbour's son is a popular physio. He has worked in UK for premier teams in football n rugby.
Some premier player was flying him back to UK to do physio for him!!

Osteoporosis is brittle bone disease
Stupid f’ing auto correct. I just typed osteo and left it at that but my poxy phone thought it knew better
May I refer to my previous comment regarding you and perfection.Stupid f’ing auto correct. I just typed osteo and left it at that but my poxy phone thought it knew better
Yep I had the same the only difference being it was once a week on a Monday morning in a rehab class at the hospital for 6 weeks
So after an hour and half of that and chucking a ball about I would go home in more pain than when I started and be pretty useless until Wednesday
One thing I have found that has helped is laying flat with both arms pointing at the ceiling and moving them in very small circles for a few minutes gradually building up to larger circles for longer periods of time over the course of months has seemed to put some strength back into the joint and the clicking popping or shooting pains has reduced, careful though too much too soon sets you back weeks if not months (dont ask how i know)
None of which is going to fix my neck muscles/tendons etc but movement has become easier
When I first started at Wakefield I was diagnosed with cervical spondolosis, it was declared as a result of my broken neck, the third pad on my vertebrae would swell & trap the nerve, Doctors put me on strong pain killers which did not work 100%, I also wore a surgical collar, they sent me to St James hospital for physio, throwing a giant ball did nothing except make me feel totally stupid, I decided I was just going to have to live with it, on my return to work I found myself talking to a PEI that had just transferred to Wakey, he was a keen biker & it turned out he had recently trained as a physio, he told me to lay flat on the kitchen table with a bag of sugar in my hand hanging over the side of the table & slowly bring it parallel to my body, I did this for twenty times twice a day.
It worked, I have not suffered since.
It worked, I have not suffered since.
What sort of sugar?
Tate & Lyle Granulated, 2.5lb bag
But did you manage to achieve a hover.?
I cracked c5 vertebra in a car crash when I was rear-ended, oo-er missus, and after quite a bit of physio for nearly 18 months I designed my diy helper. I screwed a hook into a scrap crash helmet and suspended that from a multi-gym in my garage. I’d put the helmet on and sit up straight and slowly took my weight through the chin strap - obviously not so much as to dislocate my neck and kill me - and I found I got greater relief sooner and the numbness on my left arm and hand disappeared. 12 years on and still all is OK
