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.How is @eldergarth and the good wife @tina_marie ?
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 .Ron when I had scistica it wasn't on and off just on.
What do you think an x-ray will show? What do you think the problem is?
Do you stand up all day at work?
Someone mentioned arthritis. Would an x-ray pick that up?
I'm sorry if I sound daff. I have no knowlege or experience of bones and joints. I only did basic health when I trained to be a nurse. Oh and women's things due to 4 women in our house growing up. Poor dad.
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.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 .
I am on my feet alday at work as I run a very busy trade counter for a flooring company and according to my pedometer my average per day is 7miles in an 8hr shift so needless to say this is a very big problem for me so I'm hoping it's nothing major and is something to do with my neuropathy and not arthritis but as they say only time will tell
How dare someone make your life hell!Hi all finally managed to get connected , nut as soon as I post this message I wil be disconnected agsin, phoned diabetics yesterday reported problem, said they'd chech then ring me but heard nothink, same as last time. It's very very hot here but storm for sat for tonight and rain weekend. I can recieve PM but only part of them. Incomplete. So don't know what's going on. I can't acsess to send! So take care hope everyone's well, I'm stressed out, got someone making my life hell, still never mind. Just made some yoghurt! Love homemade yoghurt. Have good day.
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 .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.
My mum has a form of arthritis but I do understand there are a few different types. Is your problem worse when in cold weather or very hot weather? Worse after lying in bed for a long period. My mum has it in her back and arms but last week her gp told her now in her hips. He offered her a strong painkiller which gives reflux but now has medicine for it. She's much more comfortable and has gone back to her gardening.
What I'm really trying to say is you and tina will sort this out. It's never good to be left in limbo like this. I hope this afternoon starts some good treatment and a bit closure to the not knowing worry.
Thank god you have @tina_marie who is worrying too.
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.I'm sure the diagnosis will be tactled like you have your diabetes.

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.
How dare someone make your life hell!
Can they be cut out of your life? No one needs that.
I hope they can. Get rid asap. You deserve better. ♡[/QUOTE Finally got connected!!! Think probably I won't bother with the forum in future, said they'd sort problem put but heard nothink, not doing my eyes any good have to rejoin dozens of times to get connected. Your comment - To the get rid of Asap! Been trying to but getting loads of abuse for long time, see what happens, not st all hopeful. Anyway good day to you all, let's see if problem gets sorted, it keeps saying they don't have me registered!!
