Maybe you could try one of these. ww.serola.net Works wonders for me and all the people I have recommended it to have reported very positively. It was my physio who introduced it to me.

Not good to hear Scott. Cant you see a normal GP or does it have to be a RAF Doc?

[dinger1983]

tryed normal gp there not to not many know how the raf system work and most wont go against another doc + right no im seeing the raf doc a Rheumatologist and the painclinic at ninewells

Sounds like you have a slipped disk like I had. Only way to sort it is to go under the knife & have it removed.

"stand up right, put all your weight on it and walk like there is nothing wrong"

yeah.... now if they (the docs) had this problem can you realy see them doing this?
no, no they wont, they be craying like a woss with the pain!

i feel for ya mate, i really do, i had to take tramadoll and use them electric pads and lay on a hard floor, its hell on earth.

i hope you get better soon.

tryed an ostiopath (spelling!) or criopractor (spelling!) ??

[elnevio]

Sorry to hear this, Scott. Hope the path to recovery is swift and smooth. /grouphug

[Turbo_Steve]

That'll be an Osteopath or a Chiropractor, perchance? :D

Get well soon, Scott.

Hey Scott.

I've been there and done that, mainly due to doing cable pulls.
No matter what the doctors say, when you are finally sorted, try to do these as much as possible.

No back support is better than your own body.

And I hope it easies off quickly for you.

I was taking 36 tablets a day when my back was at its worst. I ended up staying in bed & calling the doc in everyday till they gave up & put me into hospital.

They removed the disk & I was back to work within 6 weeks.

Unfortunately it's not the only the UK armed forces battling with medical bullsht.

I've a friend in the Canadian Land Forces who's got seriously damaged teeth and he was given the Royal Runaround for more than a year before he was fitted with braces and headgear (they're that bad).
