Top marks to you (and the GP)
@DaveXF !! Best Wishes with the results !!
Most kind....
Just had a consultation today
went for my 'healthy legs' tests, as part of the establishing just what on earth is going on with my nerves etc.
The good news...my legs ( and feet) are healthy.
"Healthy for a diabetic?" I asked.
"Yes, very much so"
" how about for a none diabetic?"
" yes, very good"
" how about for a 53y.o , none diabetic"
" yes, the results are very good"
" I don't look 53, do I?"
" no, you don't"
"Ta"
"So, what do you think it could be?"
We went through the possible causes and there is no rhyme nor reason for the ankle pain, or the idiopathic nerve problems.
The ABPI figures were perfect, with excellent ratios ( left 1.1/1.1, right 1.2/1.2)
" so it isn't PAD then?"
"No"
"Could it be diabetic Neuropaphy?"
"It's a neuropathy but it doesn't look like diabetes related"
" so, if you're a betting lady- what would you put it down to?"
" musculoskeletal... is your back painful?"
"Not really"
Fast forward a few hours to a convo with the better half.
" I've had a consultation"
" what do they think"
"They think it could be a nerve issue in my back"
" so what do they suggest"
" a car that's easier to get into...like a F Pace"
"... off... "
