You have to wonder with chronic injuries like that
whether you have to go through a certain amount of Lots of Pain in order to overcome the low-level pain that is/was you dodgy shoulder, and therefore whether the most painful treatment is the fastest and most effective. After all, you went to an osteopath, who has caused you a lot of pain but has hopefully fixed the problem, whereas if you'd been to a homeopath because she'd basically have just thrown some water over you. This wouldn't solve the problem but at the same time, wouldn't cause you any extra pain. Unless you were made out of something water soluble, like salt. Though if you were made of salt then you'd be so brittle that the osteopath would have snapped our shoulder clean off, causing you even more pain but ultimately removing the problem of your dodgy shoulder. So perhaps you should settle for being simple, pure sodium instead of fancy crystalline compound salt, because that would be much more malleable. Though conversely, the homeopath throwing water on you would probably have set you on fire. Like a really extreme version of Deep Heat, perhaps.

Thought it might take your mind off the pain for a few minutes.

Thanks very much
Funny you mention it but I actualy used to have Cancer/AIDS and was dying but was saved by homeopathy and the raw vegetable diet.

TL;DR
no, I tried, I promissed, but I get sick easily these days, and there were too many words and lines wiggling around in that post.

I went to see an osteopath 6 weeks ago about my bad back.
8 appointments later, he put my back into a spasm after the 1st appointment, gave me sciatica, and is now treating me for free because he feels so bad about it.

As a Yorkshire-born Scotsman, I'm not sure whether this is a result or not.
