I don't quite get your point, Molehill.

Rather than suffer for a long time presumably the conclusion is to pay out £35.00 a session with a decent physio to get a running injury fixed. What I mean is you don't really expect your GP to deal in running injuries.

I am also uneasy with the general idea on this forum that we are more deserving cases than smokers or fat people. It may or may not be true but I do think we risk coming across as health fascists.
