I can only repeat what I said last time this question came up. The normal way of handling this would be for your lawyer to take you to court to apply for a change in the conditions of bail to allow you to attend specific places, viz your doctor's surgery, the hospital and the physio's practice, to receive medical attention by appointment. The by appointment is important, because it would mean that if the police tried to pick you up, provided that you could flash the relevant piece of paper at them you would be covered. The 24 hour curfew was presumably imposed to protect the public from you, but you are a very different man, crippled as you are with agonising injuries, from the hale and healthy man who appeared in court back in August. I am surprised that this application wasn't made on your behalf this morning -- or perhaps it was? If the sheriff, the lawyer and the doctor are all on your side, its seems unimaginable that the conditions of your bail were not relaxed. The 24 hour curfew is, after all, a direct alternative to imprisonment and as a remand prisoner you would certainly be given medical care.

So you are on house arrest. And you are not able to find a doctor to make visits? If you are not ill, then do not worry about it. When you were sentenced, did you ask your lawyer about the possibility that your may need a doctor? Have you talked to your Parole Officer. It is not a viloation of your rights, but a major inconvenience.
Call your parole officer or a lawyer and explain your case and see if they can help you (without all the facts, I really can't tell you much else).

Now I am in a horny dilemma, or is that on the horns of a dilemma? I have a friend of 50 years who is both an attorney and a politician. Are you telling me I should pay more attention when picking my friends? He is the on lawyer I have any contact with if that matters. The nice thing about lawyers is it only takes a square foot of ground to bury one and there is no need for a backhoe. All you have to do is stand him on his head and screw him into the ground. I love the Viagra one. That is the only one I hadn't heard before. Thanks for the chuckles, even if you have heard them before they are worth revisiting.

Those bail conditions are way too harsh. I'm guessing a lawyer did not help you with your bail, and you just got whatever bail conditions they wanted to give you.
Basically, you need a lawyer to apply to change the conditions of your bail.
As for being a breach of your human rights, it may be. But you still need a lawyer to apply to change the conditions.

No, if you really need medical care, you call them and they will see you get medical care. You should have thought of things like that before you got yourself in trouble with the law. Were you breaching some human's right when you were getting in trouble?

Basically NO - if you have a hospital appointment you can apply to the court to vary your curfew to allow you to attend.
