[QUOTE=Gtrfinger;3504071]Posting this as I'm getting no joy from my Dr.



The state of play in UK is that referrals are done with Physio helpline, which seems a ridiculous set up, as one cannot demonstrate exercises over the phone. I had a phone consultation with physio who confirmed it was likely ulnar problem, and they'd email me exercises.

only thing is, the email does not in any way present exercises that can be understood in three dimensions, and any further contact with physio helpline is with an operator,who's not a physio, who speaks English in foreign accent.



Thank you for the insight into the state-managed healthcare system of the UK. Emailing you a physical therapy session and and an out-sourced helpline. I believe your model is on its way here as well.


Hope your problem resolves fully. Actually rest and anti-inflammatories do help and it is the type of thing that "toughing it out" can lead to serious and permanent impairment.
