Probably all organized by the same AIThough we live many 100s of mile apart , I think we have the same GP surgery!!!;(;(
The only difference between yours and my Surgery doing exactly the same phone method, is the message tells me I am 31st in line!
We are of an age that can recall when you did get a quick response at GPs, before computers and before billions spent in senior management in NHS.
Re your brothers estate issues, is the solicitor holding the money gaining interest on it whilst dragging out the process?
Thanks for all that Andy. Hadn't thought to try ringing the practice manager.Tricks of the trade here.
1 phone the GP ask to speak to the practice manager, complain about the lack of ability to get an appointment, you'll probably find it easier to get an appointment if you take that route.
2. phoning 111 can actually help. even if the GP practice is open, especially when it is open, 111 often has the ability to book appointments with your GP practice through their system. Just don't say anything like you have chest pain as they will want to send you an ambulance.
Co-codamol comes in 8-500 which you can buy over the counter from a pharmacist. it also comes in 15/500 and 30/500 on prescription. so there are more mild doses which won't bung you up so bad.
Make sure you are drinking plenty if you are using it, that will reduce some of those issues.
Naproxen is technically stronger than ibuprofen, but often people don't notice any difference. Diclofenac is in the same family of medications, but is much more effective, it fell out of favor about 15 years ago and stopped being prescribed as much.
You don't have to see any one specific doctor to have these conversations. you've had a knee replacement in the past. You now have hip problems which are documented. when you next see them, state your current medications are not working. you would like to try...... and also see if they can refer you for some physiotherapy.
Physio's may be able to send you for tests or scans that the GP wouldn't send you for, and this may help speed up the process to get seen by a specialist.
To see a Private specialist, last time I looked was around £200 for a consultation, then you have to pay for any tests or scans on top of that.
What some people do is get the initial consultation done, have the MRI and Xrays done, then they go back to the NHS and bypass a big chunk of the waiting time by being put straight on the list for a hip replacement. Drop me a PM if you do want any help or advice.
And constipationCo-codamol tends to have a bad reaction with some people, painful heartburn type feeling
exactly what I was saying above - it doesn't sit well with me, but very effective at pain suppression.And constipation
Are you sure you are putting them in the right end?exactly what I was saying above - it doesn't sit well with me, but very effective at pain suppression.
You mean you're supposed to swallow them?Are you sure you are putting them in the right end?![]()
I spotted this very cool public bike repair stand with tools and a pump as well as a holder on the top for your bike.

At least he will not fly off with your pasty and if he dumps on your car it will be small, unlike the seagulls our way.
Getting them to stop kicking the back of your seat is always a good start. Great place to stop isn't it. Usually our second from last stop on our way home from Devon, then a quick loo visit where the A702 branches off from the M74 at Abington.My Smile: Home after what's the longest bit of driving I've done in a very long time...mainly as there's been a small child kicking about and they don't tend to make cannonballing easy.
However trip for his birthday...so 220 each way with some overnight stays in between.

Also featured an accidental trip into Wales followed by Birthday boy blowing chunks on a restaurant table...erm well we'll laugh about it one day.
Surprised to make it on a single tank of fuel as last time I went here in the Mazda which had a bigger tank and I took a shorter route it was gasping at 424 miles this was home 8th of a tank left and showing 100 miles range. Actual brim to brim 51mpg..not bad for a car mainly meant for round town.

I feel like end of engine refresh you should go see if the superfire can humble the mighty 1.1 TU.
Also looking at the other challengers it's probably in his wheel house...
