Bloody hell Jim, rest not work is what you need, allow those painkillers chance to kick in and don’t fight against it matey!

GP’s are all for prescribing painkillers and in this case I’m sure that’s the solution. But I also wonder if the doctor has arranged for you to have an X ray or MRI scan at your local hospital?

I do sincerely wish you a very speedy recovery, but first take it easy, you old sod…. OK?:wink:

She did say that if there was no improvement then that would be the next step.

I can now manage about 45° movement of my head to either side when the painkillers are working ( Co-dydramol ) and today have been able to take one tablet at a time as opposed to two, four times a day at the start of the week. I was able to employ the banana to good effect this afternoon when I felt the pills wearing off so I am slowly on the mend.

Got through eight jobs today but not looking forward to one tomorrow, a WM bearing change, all that heavyweight, lump hammer work . 😥

I am not bragging when I say that I have had less than ten days off in the whole of my working life, but I am however very thankful to have enjoyed good health in all of that time, no amount of money can replace that. 8)

Thanks for your kind felicitations and everyone else who has also done the same.

I have to say my mood was definitely lifted last night when Man United stuffed AC Milan and Real Madrid got knocked out of the Champions league again. 😆

Jim.
