Doctor's report
I took along the X-rays from 1998 when I last had a bad enough problem to get it seen too. While he was looking at the X-rays he muttered arthritis and rheumatism. I've got three lots of tablets to take, all of which could make me sleepy (fortunately, two I take at night) and two of them are addictive. I could also get awful gooey spots and diarrhea/constipation. My back should be fine though. He gave me a lecture about watching my weight (again). I know that he's right. I have a good excuse now for taking it easy on the housework.

Talking of addiction to pain killers I came across this on kill as few patients as possible
