Yesss 10,000 steps is bad for you!

Jane10 The pool in the physio dept at the Western has shallow REAL steps going down into it, with a handrail, plus it is at cosy bath temperature. Two physios in attendance for about four patients, one at the poolside and one right in there with you wearing her cossie. They were talking about having opt-in extra sessions for "ex-pupils" but they never came back to me on that.

Sadly I'm not an ex pupil. The last I heard of the hydrotherapy pool at the Astley was it was 'out for consultation'. It was very popular so, naturally, it was closed down. Suspect the one at the Western is gone too

I too am hopimg for a cortisone injection to ease the pain in my lower back and knee. An MRI scan showed a couple of broken bones in my spine which I knew nothing about. Although I'm not in as much pain as I was a few months ago, I still find walking more than a short distance almost impossible, and even standing at the sink or cooker is difficult. It's doubly annoyimg as I used to enjpy walking but now can only get around on mobility scooter. ?

I have walked an average of 10,000 steps a day for the last 2 years and am much fitter for it. I don't need a report and shall happily carry on doing it for as long as I am able.
