I had my physio call this morning. Unfortunately, we couldn't seem to connect to a video call on PC or phone, so we just spoke. I'm pretty good at explaining my symptoms though, so it went well and I was immediately sent a set of exercises for my knee and lower back, which will strengthen my core too.

She feels it's all based around my lack of belief in myself, which I would certainly agree with. Not sure I'll do it today though. I may leave it for Sunday since I'm a bit wobbly after my knee strengthening exercises. lol

Because they stem a lot from family, I worry someone would try to get my family involved, which would only lead to problems.
