    Hi Val,

    makes sense to me... it does feel like that and its the tendons and muscles that are shirking for me :wink: the bits that attach feel like they being pulled too much as well.....

    bit vague just now cus at last the oxy's are working but Val i really hope the jab has helped and it might just be a combination of of having to be at work and tiredness?

    Really hope you get a decent kip soon and also hope you will feel more like you tomorrow. hugs and tea. Cris xx

    Hi val

    Some of my tendons have shrunk too in my arms hands and legs. Lost 2" in height :shock: that was official at last pre op, was only 5'4 :cry::lol:

    Hope you managed to get back to sleep.
    Enjoy the week-end although I reckon you will be busy packing for your hols, Have a lovely time. :grin:

    If the nap and the steroids have eased the inflammation then yes, of course you will feel as though they have 'shrunk' - they are no longer puffed with fluid. Enjoy it valval, and let's hope your holiday goes well, yes? I look forward to the holiday snaps of you being poured out of various bars and taxis! :smile: Seriously, I am glad that life is feeling a little easier and more comfortable now. DD

    Does not sound stupid Val..
    Hopefully it is a good thing as DD suggested it is probably due to the swelling reduced..just what you need for your hols..xx

    Val, I hope all the joints behave and let you both have a good holiday.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
