Help
Since having an op on a torn achilles a year ago I have been suffering with a nerve pain in my right thigh, which has gradually become a lower back pain on the right and is now affecting my knee, with referral through buttock/ hip. I have also started to have pains in right shoulder and neck. I have been seeing a physio since Jan, who is at his wits' end, saw a Chiro fo 17 sessions - expensive & no help whatsoever, and am now seeing an osteo - harley street, very credible, but doesn't think he can help. They all agree it's not sciatica, but can't quite put their fingers on what it is, or how to cure it.
Any ideas would be helpful at this stage - I am quite prepared to indulge in black magic, chinese herbalism or bizarre new age rituals if anyone thinks it will help.

i have also read about footballers having problems with low slung driving positions contributing to their injury probs - so if you drive - are you sitting comfortably?
other people will be able to offer more advice
Hope this helps.

Great Dr, not too expensive, and would decide within much less than 17 sessions whether he could help you or not.
Is of "advancing years" , so might possibly have retired, but was still practicing until fairly recently as far as I know
I'll give the accupuncture a go, and look into Pilates.
Has anyone had any experience of "Body Alignment Technique"? - something that I found on the web.
Village runner sounds exactly where I am now; disc problem leading to problems with painful hips and pins and needles in lower leg. Visited an osteopath who sorted me out in terms of a bad alignment of the back following the disc slipping. This guy has really helped, although I'm not running yet!
My physio is in Putney - just a thought as you mentioned Harley Street.
Good luck

yes - my physio has had e doing loads of stretching - so much so that I have never been so flexible, but as it's neural it never seems to get better.
I am definitely going to look into this pilates business.
