[QUOTE="flashrabbit, post: 322634, member: 50796"] Hi all, This is my first post & the first time I've ventured to discuss my diagnosis with a community. After being diagnosed with diabetes I did very well to control it & my glucose levels began to fall with a combination of tablets & diet. However 6 months ago my wife and I had a baby & I have begun my own photography business so my focus changed somewhat. My prescriptions are delivered by the new "EPS" system & I missed my collection date, then completely forgetting about it. Before I knew it a couple of months has passed. Sounds crazy I know but honestly, I don't know where time has gone recently! Anyway, as a result my glucose went up, I got a telling off from the GP & carried on with medication. I have always had aching muscles & joint pain from early - mid teens & I have been able to live with it but recently things are getting so bad that it's interfering with everyday life. I've had two arthroscopies on both knees & one on my left elbow. At the moment I finding that my knees, lower back & hips ache severely after walking or activity & I can't hold my arm up for more than a minute with getting severe aching. I also seem to be getting recurring tendonitis or the likes. I've approached the gp about this and he tells me to take paracetamol, I have and it doesn't work, I ve also tried cocodamol without success. I've now been given 400mg Ibuprofen tabs, so I'll give that a go but it's still not dealing with the cause, I don't think. Has anyone else experienced similar problems? :?: [/QUOTE]
