When I first went to the osteopath for my back i was told I had sciatica from a doctor. Osteopath disagreed and said it was a tight muscle. Then I asked if i should have an MRI due to the fact that back was still painful and was told no wont show up anything on a scan. My GP did actually send me for MRI and it showed up a spine issue bulging disc. The osteopath was wrong to say nothing would show up.

Also I was told not to do my exercise class as too high impac and not to run for a bus etc. My GP said my exercise class is fine and I can do it gently.

I now take anyting the osteopath says with a pinch of salt

[quote Justilou1]@essexgirl58 - you need to tell your Physio how you feel. Explain that you are dealing with injury AND age, plus you believe that you may have exacerbated things with pervious treatment. Unless you communicate, your Physio is going to assume everything is going swimmingly.[/quote]
i do not feel I have exhacerbated things with previous treatment. All I wanted to know and I asked here is whether exercise every two hours is too much because I think it is despite what my physio says.
