I saw Dr Green yesterday to discuss my increased balance problems. Perhaps to be expected, she couldn’t offer any further suggestions other than to keep going with the physio exercises and see what the outcome of my physio assessment on Monday reveals about my progress. We also talked a bit about potential eligibility for a blue badge, and she feels that, whilst the rules are quite stringent, I might have a case based on both my mobility on my bad days, and also my general well-being due to feeling incapable or extremely nervous about going to do things if I feel unsure about my ability to walk much. I will fill in an application and see what happens.
Coincidentally, not long after seeing the GP, I got a call from the pain team to say they finally have some availability for me to be seen by their clinical psychologist, and I have an appointment booked for early March.
