Sorry but it's not guaranteed they will take your case on, they took almost 3 months to tell me that there was a less than 50/50 chance of winning my case so would not take it further, I felt cheated to say the least.
Hope you have better luck.

Had another appointment at the hospital today was given Lidocaine & steroid injections it was also recommended that I buy a Tens machine for my leg. Whats the chances that RM will pay for that as its £35 and I can't afford it? I take it'll be a big fat NO :roll:

I find that a £10 bottle of vodka works just as well as any pain killer device :wink: or maybe one of these http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-6035.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :Very Happy

I slipped on some wood while wearing the crap Magnums last year, this resulted in an operation and months off work then physio and it wasn't even a wet day. Think it had been dry all week!
