So as some of you know im off away for a week tomorrow, eeek.

i decided to ring the docs to see if i could get something for the flight... i hate flying. and also to talk about my side pains.

anyway after much of a struggle to get an appointment (and they wonder why men don't try and go) i managed to get just a telephone consultation.

the doc thinks that its my posture at work and while standing thats causing my issues, since it comes and goes but doesn't go completely. she said since you have had it for more than 10 years and the general over the counter zantac and so on has no effect (not even a brief placibo) also that if it was a major worry it would have got progressively worse to the point of were i would be very ill especially over the time frame in question.

she has asked me to go see a back specialist and (i cant remember the name) someone who checks your posture and your feet etc.

just wondered what people think to this. the doc thinks im just linking my ibs anxiety to this pain wich from my description she this is muscular tension from stress / anxiety since my back and ribs hurt/are tender in this place. also sat at a desk all day does not help.
:wacko:
