"Physiotherapy"

I had been experiencing severe back pain and right sided full leg symptoms from a pinched nerve on L5 /S1 spine for a few months with worsening symptoms. I was given exercises to do after a very thorough and full assessment where I felt at last someone had truly taken the time to give my symptoms full consideration and feed back on what would be the best thing to do . After the third weekly visit the physiotherapist was concerned that my symptoms were not improving. She rang me the next morning and suggested that I really should go to A and E in Exeter, she had even contacted them and my GP for the refferal. She followed things up every day for 3 or 4 days. I had an MRI scan within a week and a consultants appointment in 10 Days after which he operated on my spine 2 days later to find a herniated disc plus a spinal cord adhesion to a dis-placed bone. If it had not ben for her quick thinking and pro-activeness in facilitating the whole thing. The outcome could have been very life changing! Bless you xx
