Thanks Pamela, yes he was a complete ****, but he's not my regular doc. I only saw him because he was the only one with a free appt when nurse thought I should see someone...just my luck lol. That's a good idea to get a letter from the pain doc, mine is quite good, maybe she would do something similar for me. I don't use much by way of pain meds these days (wish I could some days ) but it would be nice not to get that disbelieving god-you-make-a-fuss kind of attitude...

The arrhythmia is still there sometimes, I'm trying to ignore it. They didn't see the need for further tests or anything, just putting it down to the pain. If it continues I'll demand to see a cardio to get everything checked properly. The ECG was fine, so I'm hoping it'll settle down.

Thanks for your kindness, everyone is so nice

Bram. In bed. Ouching. Wish I could move without the need to make a noise!!
