Got some not very good news today

That's a good point!  A few years ago I was virtually crippled with back pain and suffered for 2yrs! Every day I had to "plan" how I was going to get out of bed! My doctor kept telling me it was a slipped disc and eventually, my company paid for me to go Private and see a back specialist consultant. He examined me thoroughly, had x-rays done and then told me that one of my discs had eroded away and needed replacing with a steel disc. I told him I'd think about it (cos I was pretty terrified of operations).

By complete coincidence, that weekend, we bought a new bed and the next day I was cured. Completely and utterly! Never suffered a single twinge since.

So my point isn't that you need a new bed  :lol , but that Doctors and Consultants are famous for getting it all wrong when it comes to back problems.
