Hi my name is Ashley 

I have the physiotherapist coming today I have fibromyalgia severe arthritis trapped nerve carpal tunnel  they give me a  gutter frame one I first used  I was unable to walk due to the severe pain I am having everyday  that Had  broken on me after  several years of users then they give me a Walker witch as left me  very swllone hip knees I can't bear weight down on my legs my occupational therapist got involved because the physiotherapist was not listening to me and causing the problems that I'm having now  I can't even put my feet down to the floor I'm in a wheelchair at the moment and I've had one being sent over from the equipment people in Aberdeen I'm not happy about this  physiotherapist because he's the cause of my problems and me going backwards instead of forwards I don't know if anyone can give me any advice  on where to go from here with him but I just don't like him and I don't want to speak to him  , I am having at least 2 grand mal seizures a day now due to the pain I'm in , that's  what's   trigger's  my  seizures and my doctors as  up my medication to try get me to level out so he is causing me a lot of problems

    That must be disappointing @Ashvinney I'm sorry to hear about that.

    Let your OT know what's happened tomorrow, and see if you can find out when you're due to get your gutter frame, if you don't know already. That way you can have a date to prepare for :)

    Get yourself another physio. When I was first diagnose I went for 4 sessions.  Each time I spoke to the bloke and asked if he had reviewed my X-rays. He told me he didn’t need to as manipulation was important. He was the professional so I endured escrutiating pain. Anything to help me feel better. 

    When I saw the osteophysio consultant and I told him. He said that must have been agony why on earth would he manipulate you when it was bone on bone. 

    Don’t be frightened to challenge professionals as like everyone they are not always right.
