Thanks Jonny, I've been seeing a chiropractor who has helped with my posture somewhat but he too is fairly baffled as to why I'm still experiencing the inflammation.
I've just come back from the GP who categorically said "no, you don't have any 'red flag' symptoms" when I asked for a scan, despite telling them I'm getting pain in my legs from it, insane. She did however agree that blood tests would be a good idea, and that if I wanted a scan I now had to ask the physio to refer me to the rheumatoid dept at the hospital.
I've tried changing beds, and actually slept on a yoga mat on the floor when it's been bad, but that's not helped either
@dancing james How much was your scan? I have some very basic private healthcare package that covers me, but usually only if the NHS have already referred me. Not sure they'd offer it free, but certainly might be able to get a reduced cost once Ive talked to the physio again
