  • Negative for Pain!

  • Physio Pain Diary 12/12 to 18/12 Update 18/12

    One of the reasons I started my blog was to keep track of symptoms and treatments, but have not done this so far.  My Physio always asks me how I did after the last treatment, but as I only go once a month I can never remember, so I am hoping to keep a better…
