Hope for you catching job soon .Uk seems to catching 3d world countries through that burcracy .

As for your patient ,It is better to advise your patient seeks for an Orthopedist consultation for you to be on the safe side legally . You are so correct regarding rest is the main method here . I would like to raise one point regarding your Evaluation handling ...My view is to applying any provactive test gently as possible to avoid detrioration .I believe re-testing is not appropriate , just give it one trial .
