@hjluks 2-patient with shin pain. Ortho wanted to do back surgery for radicular pain. I checked his hip, reproduced his shin pain. Referred for x-ray. Severe OA. Hip replacement, shin pain instantly gone.

@hjluks 1-The ortho’s sent me a patient with knee pain. They’d scoped it and the knee was “normal”.
I checked his hip, +ve FADIR reproduced his knee pain. Sent back to ortho and suggested hip x-ray. Patient had avascular necrosis and ended up with a hip replacement.

@DrJN_SportsMed Fabulous game today. Fun to watch

Why did you stop showing the Sabalenka Mertens match?@TSN_Sports

The organic food industry is a $181.5 BILLION dollar industry. It was worth $26.7 billion in 2010, huge growth for something that offers no benefit.

People buy organic bc of the health halo: they believe it’s better.

Organic products are not superior, only more expensive.

@DrJN_SportsMed Have you read any Ann Cleeves?
A bit of a slow burn but very well written

[Tracy Barber, RPT @physiotracy]

@ArievanDuijnPT @Retlouping More info needed but would want to rule out spondyloarthropathy

[Tracy Barber, RPT @physiotracy]

@CorKinetic Definitely cover travel costs and hotel/meal expenses at minimum.

[Tracy Barber, RPT @physiotracy]

@DrJN_SportsMed I completely agree with Neil
Thanks for all your posts, they are always informative and relevant.

[Tracy Barber, RPT @physiotracy]

@hjluks Is there any evidence around running increasing or decreasing pain?

[Tracy Barber, RPT @physiotracy]

@hjluks Excellent summary. It’s like you wrote it yourself! 😃

[Tracy Barber, RPT @physiotracy]

@DrJN_SportsMed @BucksHandExpert @SaxonClinic Wishing you a speedy recovery and good physio!
