Dear Editor,
So sorry to read about Mr Rupert Williams from East Canje and the “aches and pains” he has had to endure for the past two years or so, particularly as the medical doctors “don’t know what is wrong with him” and therefore, presumably, cannot recommend suitable treatment. Has he tried the hot water treatment? A few years ago, I was virtually in the same position with my right hip joint. I had to sleep in the foetal position; if not, getting out of bed in the morning took a long time and was sheer agony. The medical profession was baffled that physiotherapy and acupuncture did not help, so a consultant recommended a scan, a possible operation (which I was not keen on) or a course of injections.
