Derek B 's story
Back pain
The real problem was I could barely walk! I couldn't stand straight and I was in pain.... I'm walking better and defo much leaner. I feel twenty years younger and furthermore reckon
We met in a terrific storm, Charlie and me
I said "spinal exam?" he said "sit here in the lee
'Neath brolly and canvas he looked at my back saying
"Come see me on Monday we'll have a good chat".
Monday came and I limped to North street where
The stairs were a challenge but there was no help there.
At the top was young Scarlet who book-ed me in
"Charlie's on the next floor" she said with a grin!
Further up goes I to the office; 'The Upper Sanctum'
Come in Lad and touch your toes -
"What! I can't do that! You jest!" I says
"Can't we just cut straight to the X-Rays?".
My twisted frame was "a mess" but that was all talk
The real problem was I could barely walk!
I couldn't stand straight and I was in pain
So with nothing to lose I went there time and again.
He worked me and bruised me bringing tears to my eyes
Lie on your front - "oww!" and now on your side "oomph!!
Relax your head, look down to the right "aghh!" I blurts
Now down to the left, "Charlie, I said, that flipping well hurts!!
Anyway, all tears aside, I now walk tall and can reach up 4 inches more!
As a result my shower is cleaner, I'm walking better and defo much leaner.
I feel twenty years younger and furthermore reckon
To do 12 or 13 miles in the wet, wintry Beacons of Brecon.
Thanks Charlie
