Health perspectives first and this week remained fairly normal, which I am not complaining about. The back pain remains and is a bit variable, with the physio adjusting his treatments accordingly. I had my latest session on Monday evening, with more acupuncture and massaging of the muscles, but he avoided
The overall health situation reads as the previous week, with the lower left back pain point being notable, as a result of the previous week’s acupuncture. That had a pulling feeling all week, so was a raised pain level, compared to the previous couple of weeks. I will discuss
The overall health situation continues on a fairly even path. I managed three of the normal length walks, all without major issues. I took the sports tape off my back at the end of the previous week, which remained off until the next chiro session on Thursday. During that, he
The health situation was all-dominant this past week, but things are moving in the right direction. As mentioned last week, I had an appointment with the chiropractor on Monday and talked him through what had unfolded the previous week. He undertook some lighter massage of my lower back and also
My health situation took a backwards step or two this week, unexpected and incredibly frustrating. I undertook another walk on Monday, followed by some household chores. I was initially okay, but by the time Sandra came home, I was starting to flag. My energy levels sank and eating was a

As always, health aspects first, which currently are very dominant. The variable pain continued and is increasing and following the emotional end to the previous week, I managed to secure a GPs appointment on Tuesday morning. They ruled out sciatica and advised me to see about getting a scan or
Health-wise, this week was pretty much a repeat of the previous update, sorry to bore you regular readers. The key aspect at the moment is the numbness at the base of my back, which is increasingly affecting my legs and parts of my lower back. I have been trying different
For those of you who are regular readers, you will have noticed the absence of an update last week and the reason is simple; the past 2 weeks have been mainly ‘health focused’. The w/c 30th of September basically fell into two halves. The first half of that week
Health updates first and this week is another of mainly self-inflicted pain, but never intentional. The week started with more of the general tiredness and I considered altering the plans for the week, but did not in the end. I jarred the middle of my back during another site visit
For this past week, it is one of two halves. The first half was one where tiredness remained an issue, which resulted in me adjusting what I focused on, with low intensity activities being emphasised. Monday was my latest blood test and this was the last of my bi-monthly tests;
