Surely that's not all on offer? Could really do with some advice on what those results are suggesting my back problem is and is it likely too get worse? Am I allowed toask for a copy of the MRI report?
Suppose I'm saying "help" really ...I need to stay mobile enough to keep jumping in muddy puddles for a good few more years!

Sorry to hear about your back problems. I do not have much advice as yet but I'm in a very similar situation and trying to find out what my options are within the NHS. So far the only things I've learned are that you have to keep yourself informed both about your treatment options as well as about your medical condition. You can request a 'second opinion' through your GP but you would have to start the whole process again and go at the back of the waiting list. You can also contact your local 'PALS' if you want to make a complaint. As far as I'm aware you can request your results but you will have to pay.
