I’ve seen Gilson, my physiotherapist, for 3 sessions now. He’s given me some neck exercises designed to strengthen my neck muscles. He also showed me what my posture should be, so I people can now see my writhe every few minutes trying to get my shoulders in the correct position. I’d be standing in the tube & I’d writhe. I’d be sitting in the tube & I’d writhe. I’d be walking to the water cooler & I’d writhe. I’d be lying down & I’d writhe.

Today was my third session. I was up at 5am & I arrived for my appointment 45 minutes early. If at any point during my travel I encountered a train delay or bus delay I would either be on the dot or very late. So better too early than late.

Anyway I told Gilson the pain is even worse now & the right side of my right arm, which was better due to the steroid shot I had last year, aches everytime I change its position. If I had my arm bent for 15minutes and then stretch it, ouch! If I had it stretched & then bend it, ouch! So today Gilson added more needles & stuck some of it on my right foot & right calf muscle.

I am seeing my consultant after my nasal surgery. I have one more session booked for Gilson, if my right arm’s not getting any better, I will quit paying for the pleasure of getting pricked at least 6 times in different points in my body.
