Didgeridoo!!!

[MischiefMonkey]

On 'Midlands Today', there was a (typically uncritical) 'advert' for 'Didgeridoo Healing'.

I kid you not - the sound of the Didgeridoo can heal your back pain!!

As I slipped in the snow yesterday I am suffering a bit with back pain. Do I take Nurofen Plus, see a physio or call Rolf Harris?

See a psychic surgeon - you know it makes sense - well, as much as digerwhatnot does.

Warm bath, and take your dog(s) out for walkies.

That'll be £45 please.:cheesy:

Refitting the bathroom and one dog refuses to walk in the snow despite her darling padded snowsuit and booties. (Though the boys loved their walk:smiley:)

Do I get a refund;D

And Nurofen Plus is only about £4 for 8 tablets.....(more codeine than I really like, but hey - it works:smiley:)

Still - Rolf Harris!!! (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HmL3m2zcoOI)

As a totally generous , and indeed wonderful person, I would have waived the (very modest) fee, had you not posted that link to the vomit-inducing song of RH.

Isn't inflation terrible? So that's just £518 - ta greatly.

At £4 for 8 tablets you may in future want to consider paramol as a replacement. It is only available from a pharmacist (without prescription) and will cost about £4.50 for 32 tablets. (Anecdotes: the girl friend uses it for period pain and swears by it. I use it for back pain and migraines and also swear by it). It contains dihydrocodeine rather than codeine and lasts a couple of hours longer*

For this little tit-bit of information I shall undercut bindeweede and come in at a mere £500 for my services

*A wee bit of chemistry: The hydrogenation of the c=c double bond of codeine yields the dihydro which is chemically more stable

I second paramol.

On a slightly more OT tangent, what's the one called you can buy over the counter that has diclofenac in it?

[skbuncks]

Wiki gives an alternative name of Voltarol which im sure is available via prescription only. Used to have a nurse friend who would steal me it from hospital as it was great for hangovers and migraines

ETA: yep would seem to be prescription only

I'm sure I seen an advert the other night for it though. I don't think I could possibly be mistaken :-X

Edit: Got up off lazy ass and googled: http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/story.asp?storycode=4120557

Cool, will be available OTC in a months time



The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency has announced that from next month patients will be able to purchase diclofenac 12.5mg OTC for a wide range of indications including headaches, period pain and symptoms of cold and flu.

That report was from September 08 though O0

I might ask the pharmacist about it next time I am in. I was prescribed it once when I broke a couple of ribs.

Here is Spain it's a bit different.

I have been able to get Diclofenaco OTC for my back for the last few years. Until recently you could also get some antibiotics.>:-)

But whereas in England you can buy paracetamol etc. with your petrol or morning paper or groceries, here you can only get it from a farmacia.

And they do not sell Resolve at all:'(
