Thanks Hana, & Sue
It turns out its phlebitis I have which quashed the fears I had that it was DVT, I can't understand why he won't give me them neither as I was on them for about 2 yrs a few years ago before I was db for my cellulitis which made them swell quite badly and painfully, then he said I had been on them too long and he's n ever let me have them since, though saying that it did clear up until becoming diabetic, but its his stock answer for everything can't have it cos of diabetes. I'm on simvastatin, ramipril, metformin, and take ordinary painkillers as I can't take declofenic as it gives me bad guts, I was surprised today he's given me a couple of tubes of cream, so perhaps miracles happen lol 8)
