Doctor
Would you rather try physiotherapy now, or a scan if it does not settle?
Patient
I would rather try physiotherapy first, unless you think a scan is urgent.
Patient
Is a scan urgent, or can it wait two weeks?
Doctor
A scan is not urgent. There are no red-flag symptoms, so it can wait two weeks.
Doctor
Can you go to physiotherapy twice a week if the clinic has space?
Patient
Yes, I can go twice a week if the clinic has space.
Doctor
If numbness starts, will you call us the same day?
Patient
Yes, if numbness starts I will call you the same day. Ordinary stiffness is different.
Patient
What should I watch for at home over the next few days?
Doctor
If the pain spreads or you get a fever, come back straight away.
