MOVING AROUND

Your friend should be able to get a copy of her MRI on disc if she contacts the Xray department at the hospital where it was carried out. There might be a charge for this - my hospital charged £10 but I think the maximum they can charge is £50. However, a copy of the radiologist's report would probably be more helpful as MRIs are not easy to read if you have not been trained to do so (in 30+ years of nursing I never read MRIs). The consultant's sec or GP might have access to that.

Many thanks.

I will tell her to get onto it.

However, would the consultants break down of the radiologists report not be any good?? as this from what she has explained seems quite detailed??

Just asking if she cannot get hold of abovementined!!

Mrs H and Gordon,

When she fills out her ESA form with regards to mobility and what she can and cannot do,will it be to her advantage to also add in the three "magic words" repeatedly, reliably and safely where relevant???

Presently, she is painfuly able to walk a few yards with her walking stick, but would be in so much pain that she could not immediately get up and around!!!!

Hi,

Was wondering if you could advise on this question.

Many thanks.
