I have had CTS in both elbows for about 10 years with all the usual symptoms (pain at the rear of the elbow being by far the worst), it started one night at age 22 when I was working triceps at the gym and for whatever reason it just never went away. Back then they wouldn't give me surgery because my nerve conduction test was normal despite being symptomatic and having no response to painkillers or physio, so I have basically had to adapt to it by avoiding doing anything physical. But with AI automating my white collar job out of existence I am going to have to move to physical labour, which is obviously hard to do when even one day a week working on my car results in my elbows screaming at me. So I've been put through for a new referral. Has anyone on the NHS had any stories about trying to get a decompression performed? So far I have gone from GP -> Physio who referred me straight to musculoskeletal - physio referred with a recommendation for surgery given longstanding symptoms and already failed to respond to physio in the past. I can't imagine it is any easier to get the surgery than 10 years ago what with the state of everything but I am hoping their comment will work in my favour.

I have my main SIM with VodafoneThree and a second data-only SIM with EE. My thinking was that the overlapping data coverage from multiple providers would reduce the amount of blackspots I run into when I'm travelling.
The problem I have with the behaviour of the "Automatic data switching" function is that it only seems to kick in when the main SIM card has absolutely zero signal whatsoever - this has only happened once in the past year (I know this because it notifies you when the SIM has changed). The much more common scenario is that I superficially appear to have low-signal 4G or H that appears on the status bar, but I am unable to actually transfer any data. When this happens I have to manually switch data to the second SIM, which is irritating.
Is there any way to make this function more aggressive in its switching, I can't seem to see anything in the Developer Options? Or is there some kind of helper script I can write that could properly detect when there is no data available rather than relying on what the OS is reporting? (I am guessing I would need root for this though which I can't do due to my organisation's BYOD policies)
Thanks very much
