    Hi Joan,

    Mine certainly has and invited its cousin in as well. When do you next see either your doctor, pain clinic or Rumo? I think it would be worth mentioning it to one of them and keep a note of all the bits that play up in case they are behaving when you do see someone maybe? I hope it soon settles down for you.

    Hi Joan,

    Glad you are seeing someone and get them to give some kind of opinion. I really hope they will and that it can be helped. In the mean time with the swelling maybe putting them up and gently moving your feet in circles every hour could help. Do they go cold or hot (sorry its like 20 questions here :wink: )

    Oh the strimmer...... 2nd round has also gone to it :lol: I just don't seem to have the strength and have taken to asking anyone who comes here to have ago! I dream of a nice 4 stroke one..... or a tractor :wink::lol: xx

    Hi Joan,

    Sit with them up, higher than your hip if you can and move your toes about and turn your feet from the ankles regularly. Do you have good circulation? I hope you get some answers on Monday.

    Just saw it and have answered you over there :wink: Luv Cris x

    Thank you Cris.
    I will have to sort my recliner out has he will not go any higher last time i put a fleece under my legs and it made my hip ache more perhaps because it was a different position for my legs.
    never mind its my body wearing out.
