    Morning @prezz11 although like many I suffer with back pain. Caused by tumours growing on my spine. I can’t advice you. But many on here probably can. 
    I can say it’s my personal believe that you have to hound your doctor. I was often told by Gps it’s just ware n tear. My age or my arthritis as I have that in my joints. I stopped mentioning it to the doctor believing it was just my age. Even though it still cripples me. 
    But then I started to feel the lumps which became painful. And finally had a MRI scan. And hey presto. 

    So don't do what I did and stop complaining. Push and nag. 

    Good luck. 

    I only replied to you to welcome you to our Scope Family. 
    And hope to see you in our coffee lounge and games room. 

    Sending hugs 🤗

    Heya @prez11 and a belated welcome to the community from me too. :)

    I was just checking in to see if you'd had any progress with PIP? Did you apply in the end?
