Morning Vicky , not to bad thanks . Just the odd niggling sciatic pain. Nothing as bad as Rons . I'm following peoples postings hope all is well with everyone . Will let you know how we get on at doctors later.
Hi Vicky was told by doc couple of weeks ago that with the limited movement in my hips that it looked like arthritis and sent me for xray as it shows as inflammation of the joints .
Hope things go well with nurse good luck (hug)Going to he nurse for bloods. I get my blood potassium levels checked monthly. I take Spironolactone and Ramipril which can both raise potassium levels which are very dangerous like dodgy heart rhythms and even a cardiac arrest. This is why they monitor me regularly.
I'm sure the diagnosis will be tactled like you have your diabetes. I have faith in you and tina's abilities to cope with this problem and get the best possible result from it.
How dare someone make your life hell!
How are things @Cumberland ?Hope it all goes well Eddie
Well done!Back in the 5s FBG club today! 5.8, and weight at 72.9 - still working towards a base 70kg. Rubbish eaten in Germany out of my system now it appears, and I'm feeling so much better again.
And, the sun is shining - so life isn't too bad
don't really have a good or bad time with the pain Vicky when comes to the weather its constant pain but does get worse if been walking a lot .

Your right I do worry about him. Its been nice having him home so I can fuss over him , but I think all this waiting around is driving him nuts . He's one of those who thrives on work and he enjoys what he does. He's looking into getting a new car as the one we have he's now struggling to get in and out off. Suppose given time I will get use to all the diabetic down sides . It just seems to be one thing after another . Before we can get to the bottom of what's happening now I'm getting prepared for the next thing to happen. Ron mentioned pains in his legs to the doctor and nurse ages ago and nobody seemed bothered now this has happened.
it does feel like its grating at times William but I do have cartilage problems in my left knee so can be hard to tell if its my knee or hip grinding away .@eldergarth - That sounds really bad, and does it make a 'grating' noise? It could well be Arthritis - but, you need a definite diagnoses so you can get treatment and the appropriate pain relief. The sooner the better. Good Luck this afternoon at your Doctors.
@tina_marie we are here for you too.
