Well - I was not all that good on my legs at diagnosis - I was practically spherical, but I could walk around and go out of the house, however the aches and pains which developed over the next few weeks were memorable. I was almost immobile and spent days in the room next to the bathroom or actually in there so I just binned the Metformin and Atorvastatin and things did improve a lot very quickly - the muscles in my legs relaxed from the stretched rubber band state, but they had gone all feeble so I had to pull myself up the stairs, but after a while they regained some strength.
