    Jeez Eleanor sounds like you have had a bad streak and it sounds like you r getting depressed . These things have already happened to u and there is no going to reverse. I found that talking too a friend or professional can help. I hope u r not in too much pain and continue to  do PT. IT will improve believe it in your heart and keep on truckin

      Been doing physio since august last year...ive only just started doing hydro that i enjoy. Just i have to travel such a long way to do it in a orthopaedic hospital.

      Ive tried talking but nobody seems to understand. All they say "its only going to get better" or its a competition with the pain they are in.

      Well proffesionals just look at you with a sad sympathetic face on when they dont give a s**t
