[QUOTE="Helen46, post: 2253822, member: 516974"] Hi, I have virtually been confined to the house for 42 days. Over that period I have tried to keep up regular activity but find I am increasingly getting sciatic pain which I can almost keep under control with the standard exercises. However, I have also found that I am suffering a pain similar to a red hot tennis ball in the top outside of my left calf when trying to get out of bed. Doing the usual, blood test, toileting etc and getting breakfast sees the pain dissipate after about 10-15 mins. However if I then sit down to read the pain returns when I stand up. I have low BP so I find it more comfortable reclining to read. I think this is a circulation related issue as if I keep on the go over the day it stays away. Does not stop me sleeping and I do not wake with the pain but it comes as soon as I attempt to stand. HbA1c's hover round 7. Any ideas? It has been suggested I go up and down stairs but I believe any activity (so long as I am standing) results in easing the pain after 10-15 mins. [/QUOTE]
