Hi! I slipped and fell down the stairs two days ago and I hurt my back. I am not able to stand and sit. Walking is extremely painful. This is the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. My mom applied ointment and placed hot water bag on the affected area. I feel relaxed after applying the ointment and the hot water bag. But after few hours I started experiencing the same pain that I had before. So I took painkillers to get relief from the pain. The next morning also I woke up with severe back...

Hi there, I have been having issues with my wrists for nearly half a year and I would love some extra advice to go with my physiotherapists if anybody would be so kind.

Initial symptoms: Initially everything was sore such as flexion and extension with a band. Any weight on the...

Hello all, My wife and I miss the UK, and would like to move to the south coast (Brighton vs Southampton vs another area I haven't discovered). I trained in Scotland so am aware of the requirements to work in the UK but am currently working in Geneva, Switzerland. As I have very little experience in the region, this thread will hopefully elucidate what cities have the best job prospects, salaries, etc. So, my questions are the following: 1. Brighton or Southampton? Or is there...
