Hi there,


I seem to have trapped a nerve in my back in a foolish overexercising kind of manner and it's proving rather challenging to get my toddler out of his cot etc. Fun times.


Anyway never having been in this position before I don't know whether a physio or a chiropractor would be better to go to. Does anyone have any local recommendations for me please? I'm in SE22.


Thank you.

It could be a bulging/ruptured disc - I have had these and am not a fan of either chiro nor physio, as they manipulate something that shouldn't be manipulated. I would try and get it checked out (MRI) if it's not disappearing quickly. Equivalent of "spraining" your back - rest, time and gentle movement is the key, then core strengthening when pain has gone.
I would second bobbsy about the fact that it could be a bulging/ruptured disc and the need to get it properly investigated, although as an interim measure (until you can get to see a doctor), I would definitely advocate seeing a good physio (no physio would manipulate until after diagnosis) who may be able to give you accupuncture. I would definitely recommend Dulwich Physiotherapy in Crystal Palace Road. They are not related to the doctors practice but have offices above. They offer great flexibility with appointments including evenings and Saturdays. Do not see a Chiropractor!

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
