Well i have had a good summer and for some reason today my bloody body is giving me the royal run around. Wrist are hurting and weak as hell, pins and needles in foot and hands...legs aching, left foot hurting, on and off.... Pigging head ache and to top it all restless legs and arms, what the hell is going on .....shoot me now. NO only joking... just a quick moan but i am sure after a good nights sleep i will be fine. Wouldn't mind i have OA not RA i will be having a good chat with my body tomorrow it can pack this in. Oh well a gin and tonic and bed i think.

    Hi Lupin

    I am sorry to hear that your body is throwing its toys out of the pram. How dare it! I suffer from RLS and have just been told about an exercise to do that may prevent it. Stand facing the wall, hands on wall and move towards the wall and back keeping feet still. Repeat a few times. The muscles in the back of the legs are pulled. I don't know if it worked but I had the best night's sleep since my neck op about 10 days ago. :grin: I am going to do a few turns of that exercise again before beddy byes.

    Enjoy your G&T. :grin:

    Sleep well,

    Love

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi Lupin,
    There seems to be a few of us with pins and needles, even hubby has been complaining of them in his hand, I think his is from an old shoulder injury that comes on every now and then.
    I have just posted on Elna’s thread about restless legs so if you want to join us.....

    I hope you are right and a good nights sleep will improve things for you.

    Had a lie in this morning and have been sorting out my bedroom....i have been doing the dump and leave it routine.... Daughter is also come around to sort the last few bits out of her room... needless to say we have had lunch and chatted and done only a little bit.... Oh well there is always tomorrow!!!!
    Have also order USA Pro Tone trainers as my sister said she has just bought some and it has helped her back pain.... I will give anything a try and they were only £25 which is not bad.

    Hi Lupin

    So you've spoken to your body and it has listened, thats good. And who wants to do housework when you can and chat with your daughter, it's much more fun. Lets hope your body keeps being good and you dont have to tell it off again for a while.

    Hi Lupin, My body decided to join you in 'lets be a painful pain in the ****!' over the weekend, and the damp and cold didn't really help! So I can sympathize with you. I truely hope you feel alot better today, other wise join me in having a rest day! I'm lucky to not have the restless leg syndrome as others like your self do, so I feel for you with that. Hope you feel alot better soon. bubbadog/Amanda
