Welcome to OOF
If you can find one near you have a chat with a McTimoney Chiropractor ...
That's interesting thanks Nige!I think I need my pelvis realigned....
I take it that a McTimoney Chiropractor is a kind of sub discipline?
I've found a McTimoney Chiropractor about 5 miles away, so I think I'll give them a ring tomorrow.
I suffer from pain in my lower back, hips and knees.
I was told years ago that I have a twisted pelvis which at the time didn't cause any problems, but as I've got older the pain levels have increased and at times I've had mobility issues which can only get worse.My GP's response has been to dish out painkillers and anti inflammatories which have helped, but I don't feel that these are treating the problem just masking the symptoms.
I'm wondering if manipulation might help and given most of you lot are creaky old geezers, i thought this was the ideal place to ask!
So Chiropractor, Osteopath or Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapist ! Absolutely. They are regulated and properly qualified. Some will disagree but the others are on the verge of "Alternative Medicine". Some really are very good but others are just quacks and bullshitters

Kevin -
Actually I was off on my statistics - it took six hours, 32x 1080TIs and another ~50 other, smaller GPUs..Under "Breaches you were pwned in" it says "Online Spambot"
I can't see how a spam bot would have got the password though - I don't follow email links unless I absolutely trust them, and even then, I go to the homepage of the site by typing it in on the address bar.
Allen, then further down the page you should see:QuoteOnliner Spambot (spam list): In August 2017, a spambot by the name of Onliner Spambot was identified by security researcher Benkow moʞuƎq. The malicious software contained a server-based component located on an IP address in the Netherlands which exposed a large number of files containing personal information. In total, there were 711 million unique email addresses, many of which were also accompanied by corresponding passwords. A full write-up on what data was found is in the blog post titled Inside the Massive 711 Million Record Onliner Spambot Dump.
Compromised data: Email addresses, Passwords
A spam Bot didn't get your password, a spam bot was using your password (potentially). This would be the breach I just noted as needing only 6 hours for a single individual to crack the password hashes - organised criminals would have even more power at their disposal.
Basically .. change your password(s). Everywhere, because Troy (who runs HIBP) isn't going to tell you which password has been compromised. Theoretically I could find out via Justin (the aforementioned individual with time on his hands) but I can't really pimp him out as a service
FWIW, he worked out that ~95% of his Facebook friends all have their details (including password, including mine!) in that dump, so you're not alone.
Which site?
Most give a description like this that clearly say what you should believe has been compromised (taken from one of mine):QuoteAdobe: In October 2013, 153 million Adobe accounts were breached with each containing an internal ID, username, email, encrypted password and a password hint in plain text. The password cryptography was poorly done and many were quickly resolved back to plain text.
If you were found in a 'paste' then you can't always know, you just have to assume it may contain a password you use. If you don't use the same one everywhere, I wouldn't worry.. if you do, I'd be changing it.
, the email address I put in showed as pwned on 1 site.I've had BT Fibre installed, they had an offer on for Sainsburys Gift card.
Just attempted to claim, this is what the website said:
"Thank you for claiming your Sainsbury's Gift Card. We are checking the details of your claim and once we've confirmed you're eligible, we'll send out your voucher within the next 45 days to the address where your broadband has been installed."
45 Days?
A check like that should be instant, BT know when I ordered it, where I ordered it, how I ordered it and if it's active. (apparently I have to meet their criteria) - A digital voucher should then be sent, what the frak takes 45 days?
yes - but some houses with thick Victorian walls just cannot allow a decent wifi signal to permeate.
Just re-engineered my daughters place to give better wifi signal at front of house - new latest Virgin wifi router installed - but to get signal to opposite end of house we previously had 25 metres of cable externally - now using powerline adaptors and stripped all cable out. Working fine. Wifi signal - no chance.
The wireless routers supplied FOC are rubbish, truely hopeless in my experience.
Even in the MIL's house where the internal walls are built using blocks made from Weldon spoil (e.g. iron ore), the wifi signal works well with a GOOD wireless router and hopeless with a naf Netgear free job.
If it is minor, it will go back on its own - apply cold NOT heat as you want to reduce inflammation.
Best idea is to go to a Chiropractor or if that is not an option a Physio - Physio will massage only, Chiropractor will manipulate when it is safe to do.
If you do any exercise that causes pain - STOP!
HTH
Are you sure? Ive had quite a few slipped disks.....the physio i used to visit used to pop the disk back in, after applying heat to the area and was bloody painful when he did it.
Since then ive used an Osteopath who just massages after applying heat.
Now i use my own method....go see Dr, who will quite happily prescribe 'industrial strength' painkillers (5x the strength, that you can buy over the counter, co-codamol's) and pop the pills until it goes away.
I slipped a disk a week last wednesday and it was pressing on my sciatic nerve, which meant a shooting pain in my left leg and was impossible to press the clutch without much pain and used to limp about when walking. But 4 painkillers a day made it possible to keep working
Today, however i think im on the way to mending, the pain in my leg is less and is nearer the bottom of my leg now (always a good sign) and i havent taken any painkillers either and have been out in the car without much discomfort
My Docs advise was take the painkillers to move about in less pain, but keep moving about.
The 'old' advice of lying still on your back is now incorrect, as this can lead to DVT's
HTH......but go see your doc and get some painkillers
Its an age thing I guess, I am not old enough to play Golf.
+1
When I have knackered my body completely and I can no longer do triathlons, only then will I consier taking up golf.
I've been a sky customer for the past 15. Years, we currently pay £99 a month, that's the full package, multiroom, phone Internet etc, haven't got any problems but it really hacks me off that its always new customers that get the goodies.
How about showing loyal customers a bit of gratitude and giving us a wee bonus every now and then?
Yep...Wherever you go it's the same old shit.
Our 3.1% ISA with Nationwide runs out at the end of October........dropping to a piss poor 1%.
However, new customers are offered 2.5%.
So much for loyalty.
