Spreading the knowledge!

Over the last few weeks I have been contacted by a couple of people who have had very similar experiences to me. They have had the various injections and seen the same specialist chiropractor in London. It is starting to feel like more than coincidence as the English lady who was operated on in Paris the same day as me also had a very similar story. It has led me to believe there must be a lot of people out there suffering, going from one treatment to another - or even more depressingly, in silence.

This serves to reinforce my thoughts on some of the things I have blogged about. The lack of understanding from health professionals (particularly the NHS in these cases), the need for seated X-rays as a first step not a final one, injections often being nothing more than a sticking plaster on a chronic problem etc etc. I started this blog primarly to keep my brain active over a period of time when I knew I would get bored easily. It has proved to be more useful than that. It has actually been very cathartic writing some of this down, but even better than that, some people have read it and found it useful! 

Many many thanks to the people who have been in touch directly and to those who have commented on the postings. It is very much appreciated! If you have found my posts to be interesting or useful please do share it more widely and get in touch if you think that would be helpful. That also applies if I have written things that you either disagree with or that contradict your experience! I am very conscious this is just my experience and in no way should be applied to everyone. The more information we share and spread the better!!
