Verdict: just going to have to wait for the back pain to sort itself out (which, admittedly, it nearly has) and take painkillers if I need to. Also, up the allopurinol to twice a day. And take more exercise - he printed off a couple of pages of exercises designed to promote healing of the back, or some such.

So now I can start deciding what to do about dinner

I saw a very excellent play of it at a little theatre in Bracknell a few years back. There were only about a dozen of us in the audience. A shame, as it was very well done.
