Discitis Rehab

[Elvster]

Dr Damien,

Firstly many thanks for Taking the time to leave me such a detailed response to my initial ramblings. You have certainly given me lots of ideas to work with and more than anything, your positive words have encouraged me to push on......gradually (as you say this could take a year or more so I guess patience is the key)

I have loads to work with and ithink have been lucky, I have since read of some horrendous outcomes following Discitis and I have to bear this in mind when I feel frustrated at not being able to play cricket this summer!

I would say that as a junior physio, I will certainly be making sure that when I assess new back pain patients that I clear any systemic causes - I'm embarrassed to say that I had never even heard of Discitis before I was diagnosed with it.

Thanks again

Mike
