ouch, if you can get to see a physio re rehab do so asap

Sorry I'm late to ask, but why? Asking for a mate (really) who's got a shoulder problem and had had it for about two months and can't play golf due to it. He's holding out for the NHS system to take care of it. I've told him to get it sorted himself but he won't. He's loaded by the way.

A tradesman working during the pandemic and claiming gov handouts, then building a amazing golf simulator in their back garden with the dosh. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I've still had sod all off the gov for anything over all this. Yes it grates, big time.

the modern approach is usually to try and get movement into something like this and start strengthening, the longer you leave it the harder it can be

the sooner you can get seen the sooner a physio can give you a rehab plan. that may be rest but it may not....

Virtually any sentences starting with the word 'so'.

Can I add any sentences that are randomly finished off with "...and that."
Also, sentences that include "turned around," every time somebody is quoted - eg. "then he turned around and said..."
This person I work with makes me cringe every time they speak.
