Ultracrap

I saw a specialist physiotherapist who initially seemed stand-offish.

I unpacked my backpack which held a CD of the x-rays taken of my spine and a patient summary from the second chiropractor I'd seen during my period of treatment. The CD wouldn't load properly so the x-rays were just funny icons and Notepad gibberish. Awkward.

He examined me and suggested it might be a cam impingement - a problem that my cousin has suffered with and recently had surgery to fix. I was happy! I diagnosis that made sense! I was sent off to have an x-ray of my hip.

The x-ray showed no problem with the joint or hip socket. Good, I suppose. He then said, OK we need to look at the bursa and the tendons and the whole area via ultrasound. Yay! I was happy! Off to ultrasound I go..?


Nope. It's a 6 week wait.
