    Very descriptive Andy, but were the nurses not that attractive to get a mention? :emoticon-0100-smile

    It's strange how the memory works - reading that made my mind dredge up an episode of NYPD Blue from about 20 years ago. <yikes>
    A character in the show was being put in to the 'toob' for an MRI, but only lasted 30 seconds before having a panic attack.

    I can't believe I suddenly thought of that...

    Cheery sods, you! I find it hard not to sleep in it! If I knew I wouldn't move when asleep and mess it up, I would definitely nod off. :)

    Perhaps if it was more painful today then swelling or whatever may show and hurry up the treatment?

    Goodness, it sounds very complex, with potential to confound practitioners, let alone the patient.

    My knee injuries meant I lost a lot of muscle definition on my thighs. The doctors say I need to build it up, but then you worry about damaging the knee! Is there similar concerns with yours or is it a case of resting something that can't be rested?!

    Wow. Will that help the disc's bulge dissipate or is it a case of not getting worse as best scenario?
    No sitting <yikes> . Looking for a return to terracing at the Vic? <applause>

    Give the Tory Party Head office a ring - they're sure to have a spare rack they'd be willing to rent out. :)
