well my gp basically said he cant help me. so that means paying someone which aint happening as im skint!

chiro used to help the pain immediately after a session but im not convinced she was curing anything. the stretches and exercises I was doing/do help more.

Your GP is right, he cant help you, but you need to get a referral. If you are persistent, explain that it is affecting your work etc, I am convinced you can get referred. I know people who have had really good physio (including manipulation) on the NHS.

cheers for the advice lads. I think im going to go back to doing my stretches every night and cutting out things that aggravate it. that worked before and its only gone backwards since I stopped. if that doesnt work ill see about trying some other routes.

referals cost the surgery money. I think thats why they are reluctant!

thanks for the offer mate. ill take you up on it if the current regime doesnt do the trick. much appreciated.

mate I wish I had your faith in the medical profession. in my experience docs make alot of diagnosis on guesswork and even moreso when it comes to lower back pain. the nhs has never helped me with any injury ive got from training ever!

Have you ever told them it is getting in the way of your work? or sleep? or getting you down and causing problems at home? Or better yet all 3?

Whilst that may be dubious morally. You have an injury, you have a health service, said health service shold be helping with said injury. End of story.

You will get nowhere without being very persistant.

mate i was in the same boat as you with the medical profession, but now after speaking with the pain specialist up here we have identified the problem area and i can move to the next step in my treatment. it did take a while and it did cause me to be depressed wondering if it would ever go away. since i'm a stubborn c**t, i kept at them and have got back to doing what i can now.

so if i were you, tell them it depressing you, you cant pick your kids up with out pain, you cant to normal tasks without pain. basically get him to refer you to someone else. as from what you said he cant help you. so in a ethical sort of medical way surely he has a duty to help you directly of indirectly in referring you to get help??

lol badgering bas***ds. ok ill go if I cant get it sorted this time.

Training today:

2" Axle power clean + strict press:

60kg x 3
70kg x 2
80kg x 1
90kg x 1
100kg x fail clean

2" Axle continental clean + power jerk:

100kg x 1
110kg x 1
117.5kg x clean only PB DO clean
120kg x fail clean - only just missed it

2" Axle power clean + split jerk:

80kg 3 x 1

I suck at taking my own advice lol. back felt good and the prospect of doing bench and chins wasnt tempting so I decided to try some overhead. back held up pretty well.

clean strength is slightly below par, press is WELL below par but grip strength is way up! which im pretty damned happy about so I can overlook the weakness.

going to learn to split jerk so I just some light ones at the the end for technique.
