Subject: RE: BS: Why does my arm hurt?
Hi Liz
I am most surprised that a sensible girl like you should still be suffering pain in the wrist/arm and that you are relying solely on your GP and NHS resources.
Why have you not consulted a local expert on musculo-skeletal problems - an osteopath or a chiropractor?
We are fully trained in the musculo-skeletal system, to a far greater extent than medical doctors. At the same time we are well-versed in other diseases, so a full osteopathic consultation should cover questions on the whole body, lifestyle, diet, hobbies, sports, work and any previous medical history, particularly of parents.
A few surgeries employ osteopaths within their practice but any GP should be able to give you the name of an osteopath, if asked.
Otherwise, look in your Yellow Pages and phone somebody local.
Remember, your GP does not have exclusive right to your treatment.

Colyn.
