Could your leg pain be scatica? My pelvic joint giving me huge pain and now scatica in leg. Just a thought.
Sorry I had missed this ickihun...it isn't the sort of pain I have had with sciatica it happens when I walk or stand for any length of time. How are you and your little one?

@eldergarth - Ron when you have been to Maureens to kill the Rat! We have one here in York (nasty neighbour who's Homophobic) that needs shooting, can you oblige? :D William.
No problem William how things are going looking like will have plenty of time on my hands

Have been to have a Medical Assessment with the DWP today. (That was my 2nd in 6years on the Sick).
My appointment was at 1.30pm got there at 1.15pm and went in at 3pm!!! The Medical took 50 minutes and they don't miss anything. Now I wait to hear if I am fit/capable or incapable to work? And they will send me a letter with their decision between 4 to 6 weeks time. :shifty: William

@eldergarth - Ron you must take @tina_marie with you. I took Richard in with me and pleased I did, because when they started firing questions at me My Brain just got muddled and luckily Richard was giving them clear and precise answers. They had me doing stretches, bending, raising legs up, raising arms up and behind my head and all the time squealing in different tones of pain! I am sure the Nurse is into S & M !!!!:D William
P.S.. Wouldn't expect PIP forms to be sent out that quick? - But, maybe wrong, let me know though.

. Last year I bought a swing around chair that fits over the bath cos getting into bath isn't easy for me, or getting out, if I get in usualy can't get out cos of leg, had one bath in many many years, it like a plastic armchair that swings around so you just pop your legs over the bath to get in & out & can shower in the chair, great for when got bad days or lazy, I have nerve damage & circulation damage the lot & I find it great, hope you didn't mind me saying buts it's very useful, just an idea to help you x wish you well

Cause I don't mind. I know what you mean , I use to work in a care home and we had them there . Thing is our bathroom is so small you couldn't swing a cat in it let alone a chair.

Evening, gales have subsided. Gusts over 60 MPH this morning and afternoon. FBG 5.4 and pre dinner injection 7.8 mmol/l. Testing 6 times daily for the moment - 3 injections daily now and titrating insulin up/down as required by my DNS who is monitoring me closely. :)
