    A career as a signaller

    This is something that we differ with we email rosters asking for a day off and then each week we get emailed a leave diary showing if we have that day or not we also can see how many others are off on that day so it gives you some idea if you're going to get it

    You book your leave with rosters, 1 week in the first 4 months 2 weeks in the next 4 months and 1 week in the last 4 months of the year the rest you book when you need them

    Bursitis

    To have it in both hips must be terrible especially at night. What do you think her doctor should do mine has said it can be drained or removed but the success rate isn't good so the NHS won't do it

    Bursitis

    I've got bursitis in my hip and have had 3 steroid injections which haven't really worked I've also had physio and that also didn't work. Has anyone else got the same and how was it treated?
