Thank you to everyone for taking the trouble to reply. My daughter is no better.

She still has pain all the time despite the morphine and pregabalin. The physio is now trying accupuncture but so far it is not working. She has an appointment with her consultant orthopaedic surgeon next friday.

The main reason for my post was to try to ascertain whether or not physio could actually make her worse as it has done so far. We do seem to be going round in circles her treatment so far has been:

Dr(gp) advise physio co codamol.

Physio no improvement

Dr(gp) xray nothing found.....so more physio no improvement. Tramadol


Dr(gp) refer ortho consultant at hospital Wikipedia reference-linkMRI nothing seen. Wikipedia reference-linkFacet joint injections c spine. no improvement advise physio. no improvement.

Back to dr gp given morphine still in pain advise more physio when pain free.

Dr gp pregabalin pain free at last. Start physio pain returns.

Physio does accupuncture so far not working.

Due to see spinal consultant again next week. :-(

getting these appointments is hard with months and months inbetween and we have got nowhere.
