ACK MY BACK!!!

so i've got over my usual procrastination and gone back to the physio i haven't seen for like four years (yeegads!). he made me do all the same exercises, he put the metal balls on my back with the machine that goes CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!. He gave me a nice smooth rub-down which made me feel like a football player. He even made me do some pilates. but did he make me feel better? Fuck NO! I've still got the same piercing spot on my lower back. He's also taped up my back with this amazing super-tape that they should patent quick smart (?!). No matter what I do it doesn't come off, even though it feels like it's gonna. And showering? Yep, doesn't even come off in the shower. I'm going back next week, but I feel kinda paranoid with the holiday just around the corner. PS. somehow the physio is not convinced of my GP's prognosis that i have osteo-arthritis in the lower back. OMFG! can it be for the last two years that it's all crap??
