"Incompetent and unhelpful "

About: North Brink Practice

I had an appointment with a physiotherapist that can't be named related to a back injury, will try to explain the symptoms I been stopped and told it haves nothing to do with my back, I get numbness in my hands and feet, I have shooting pain while trying to stretch and going from a bending position to straighten, the pain starts at my lower back and all my muscles go into spasm, my jaw, my neck, my arms my legs.... All lock and sometimes involuntary release/trows occure with my arms and legs.

Most recent as I'm having this shooting pain, all tensed up my right arm shot out and my elbow pop out of place, it now sit as if is out of place and causes me pain, restriction on movement and weakness when trying to lift anything.

Same happened to my leg/foot previously.

As I'm explaining this I'm stoped by the physiotherapist that several time tells me the pop out from my elbow, my numb hands have nothing to do with my back as it only affects the legs!

I try to explain that this happened as a release from the pain in my back that makes me go into full lock and spasm out, he rudely interrupt and repeats it's not related to back injury.

It's insane that someone that is supposed to be a specialist says something like this!

I'm explaining how it happened, how it started, how it got to it and he's telling its impossible.

Completely incompetent and unhelpful.
