Update
Nothing showed on the Xray, which was a relief, but doesn`t do anything for the pain.
The GP was a bit put out that I hadn`t had a blood test, and did it himself. He wants to eliminate any possibility of a recurrence of the parathyroid problems I had a couple of years ago, when I had a parathyroid gland removed. Too much hormone can cause bone pain.
If the blood test`s OK, I will be referred for physio therapy for a trapped nerve.
So for now, I must `keep taking the tablets.`

When we got home, I phoned SS and asked for a Carers Assessment. I can`t believe I`ve finally done it. The person I spoke to was so easy to talk to and so understanding, I realize I shouldn`t have left it so long.
Now I have to wait for someone to contact me to arrange how the assessment will be conducted.
I will never be able to thank you all enough, for being so supportive.
Will keep you posted.

Dhiren has gone out, supposedly to buy some `pudding` for tonight, regardless of the fact I`m trying to lose weight.
I think he`s gone to the bank.............
