sick note

[rhibutterfly]

hi i'm not sure if i'm in the right topic are but here goes....
i've been off work for 2 days now with really bad back and pelvis pain, i'm waiting for physio next week for SPD,i know i can use a self sign certificate to cover me for this week my concern is if i don't feel any better by thurs fri and i go to doc will she refuse me a sick note, my doc can be very funny sometimes very reluctant to give any meds ,referrals etc you have to beg and beg, i'm wondering what do i do if refused sick note and still not feel able to return to work, never had to have one of a doctor before i'm 35 so lucky escapes so far

The doctor shouldn't refuse you a sick note - detail to her the reasons why the pain would stop you from doing your job. If she refuses then just ask to see another doctor.

thank you mrsmartin, i've had this for about seven weeks now and turning into right grouch bag, i work in school with pupils who have learning/behavioural problems as one-one so on the go regularly

fair play gave me notefor two weeks xx
