re clinic visit

mig

Afternoon all,Had a really good visit at clinic saw rhummy nurse blood pressure normal,blood tests were good and showed no problems with lef markers are right down ,i talked to her about achey knees ,so after walking up and down for her and being prodded and poked looks like i am compensating for bad feet by altering the way i walk,which hubby said after that he noticed my walk was slightly difererent not that i felt anything myself,she said one or two things could help like not crossing legs and elevating them,make sense,told her about shoes im to get but not till november she said please stick with them because it will take time to get used to them as they will be trying to correct the way i walk.
Also asked her about lupus which she told me they check for it when i have bloods done no sign of it ,i havent had any skin problems for over 6 years.so all in all a good positive visit.cuppa time.Mig

I'm very pleased it went so well, mig.

Am I right in 'remembering' you're having surgical shoes made? If so, when your lady says 'stick with them' do but make sure they don't rub you anywhere or dig in or squash anything. Just send them back for alterations if they do. It's important to get them exactly right.

Hi Mig,
Good to hear you had such a positive appointment, it's nice when that happens, it makes things just a bit more bearable, long may it continue. Good luck with the shoes, I had insoles made (not the same I know) and thought they would take some getting used to, but I was alright after the first day and they've made a lot of difference, so I hope you have a good experience.

I am pleased to hear that it went well and what good news about the markers: the lef appears to be doing its stuff so three cheers for that. I always rest with my legs elevated and yes, we do change the way we walk without knowing as we do try to compensate (and thus make other stuff hurt). I hope the shoes help - what about some good insoles in the meantime? When I put mine in my shoes I am amazed at how they 'straighten' my knees. DD
