Just thought I'd update you...
I saw the NHS physio last week, and she was much more professional in her approach than that stupid, arrogant doctor I saw (who didn't even examine me properly)
She confirmed that I have scoliosis and a tilted pelvis and that this is the cause of my pain. She is going to start some treatment next week - not exactly sure what she is going to do, but I am willing to try anything because this has gone on for so long....
Thank goodness for sensible physios - I have a lot more faith in you guys than I do in doctors!!
