Next Thursday's expert chat will offer you the chance to ask GP Keith Hopcroft questions about health.

He's also written a number of books and has made numerous contributions to radio.
As always, if you don't think you'll be able to make the chat, but have a question for Keith, just post it here and we'll make sure it's included on the night :thumb:

As he is a GP I would assume he will answer questions on both physical and mental health.
:yes: any aspect of health that you could speak to a GP about
:hyper:
Including me, or am I banned from this one?
Nah, Health Service Manager, working mainly with GPs. I could ask some "awkward" questions
TBH I might pop in and ask some nice ones, I like to play fair around here. Thing is it would be like a busman's holiday for me.
That would be cool - he's not gonna be here for a grilling to be fair - just to offer some advice
Thanks
Good question Katchika.
Though it depends why you are stopping the pill in the first place.
I second this.
Sure, but you might want to give a bit more detail. If you're not in the chat yourself then you won't be able to answer any questions the doc may have so any extra detail here would be great
I'll try to be there.
I've been on several anti-inflammatories for it over the last two years. The most recent being Fenactol which I believe is from the same family as Nurofen and is as useful as a chocolate teapot but the one my GP is absolutely in love with (I would say because it's cheap to prescribe but I wouldn't want to cast aspersions). I'd just be interested to hear a second opinion, if he's got one :thumb:
Also his views on "alternative therapies" for it, if that phrase is not a mortal insult :razz: I know to stay away from stimulants like caffeine and I have tried all kinds of pillow origami but any other tips - medicinal or otherwise - are always welcome!
basicly I came of my bike about 25-30mph, and from the sounds of it dislocated my shoulder, it popped then popped back in straight away, i could barely move it for about 2days and it started to losen up but the pain has still not gone, this was 3weeks ago and the pain is the same as it was since the accident, my doctor says its fine but I dont really trust him since the pain has not gone away,
I know its not really a serious or exotic health question but wouldn't mind a second opinion, thanks
Do you have a link for it?
You just log in to the chat, post your question there and Jim will post it when the doctor has done the previous question.
