[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2099699, member: 196960"] I tried to walk again without crutch and I feel like my legs want to collapse. I can only stride 2-3 times. I had a taxi to and from my son's tonsillitis GP appointment as I couldn't walk up a graded side of a road. My son who was ill helped me by supporting some of my weight. This is ridiculous. I'm going to use crutch as I prefer my semi-independence. Mr ickihun as a bad hip and knee so I don't want him falling. Crutch use until kids go back to school. Then I can try again. It will be impossible in wind or ice. I will take it in stages and slowly. I have no choice. Still delighted with op. No pain or problems. Still losing so couldn't be happier. Ps. Losing weight everywhere except stomach so back is killing me. Scatica springing up when out or in bed. I preferred dihydrocodeine for scatica than tramadol. Tramadol comes out of my system quicker, it feels. I can say stupid things on tramadol too, I feel. I will start to reduce my tramadol now so after 6wks I have room when I try without crutch again. I watched a Dr. NOW programme yesterday and one of his patients had neuropathy from her obesity. She had to learn to walk again from scratch. I'm not wheelchair bound (thank god) but I really struggle to walk. Ridiculously so without crutch. Ive learned to walk with crutch, throughout. I understand loads more nowadays. I know I'm not alone in struggling to walk. I used to take it so much for granted. I love getting around..... by any means necessary. Still tired after taking betablocker. It takes hours to wear off. Just about to take it now. Humf! [/QUOTE]
