Default So you think your Cossie is expensive to run.....

I developed a niggling leg about 5 weeks ago, no reason for it just started hurting, didn't think much of it until I could hardly fuckin walk on it

went to my doctors who put me on a course of anti-inflammatory drugs which helped me not at all

went to see a specialist on Friday who injected my hip with some potion or other which helped me not at all

so today got completely fucked off as I now can't walk at all so I booked into my local BUPA for a consultation....

cost £150

consultant has decided I need an MRI scan....

cost £550

and no I haven't got insurance

I reckon after my next consultation I'll be in for a grand and to be honest as long as I'm sorted it will be money well spent

if not I'll be pissed

waiting till january was the NHS option but not being ableto walk further than 10 feet wears thin after a while
