Get well soon Andrew! you sound an awful lot like me, it has been said that I am not good at accepting or asking for help from others too! Hope you are soon better. Phil, East Yorkshire. |

But frustratingly I've not personally been able to do anything but be an onlooker to these activities as it seems I've either trapped a nerve or possibly pulled a muscle in the vicinity of my left hip and cannot be on my feet for more than about a minute before being in agony. Hopefully it'll sort itself out after a few more days but this is day three already :( If it goes on much longer I'll need to order a Zimmer Frame :bugeye: --- End quote --- Have you seen a competent doctor? Two months ago my wife had incresing back pain (not uncommon for a witress/cook at all). She got prescription of pain killers and started biking in addtion to our daily 5-10 walks, but it got worse. I started to think it's Sciatic nerve....such were the symptoms. She had a day off when she clound not stand any more, one leg would go limp. The pain was nearly intolerable. I took her to first aid and they only wanted to know if she had corona...no.no.no just back pain. She met a doctor, they run tests, took x-rays, could not conclude, but admitted her in and scheduled for more tests and MRI. Right after MRI hell broke loose and they scheduled her for back surgery next day. They removed pound coin size tumor that was pressing all nerves on lover back and causing **** load of problems. She was admited home next day and was adviced to start walking slowly. She made it to mail box, bout 10 meters first morning. You can imagine that that was pretty bad for morale....but she doubled every day and after six weeks she is biking 30-40 km on one go (once or twice a day) and we still have our daily strol of 5-7 km. She is not alowed to lif anything more than a kilo or twist her back, but could start working soon. She said that pain went away right after surgery and she can move more freely than months. Chances of you having same type of problem is low, but I would advice to be checked if there is no clear and obivious reason for the back pain. Get well Pekka |

Personally I find it quite embarrassing that I have to watch friends doing what frankly is a none-essential activity - they are apparently very willing but accepting help I find remarkably hard - it's usually me solving issues for others :bang: --- End quote --- Welcome to the Club, Andrew. Get well soon, although you can't get younger... Pete |

Thanks for your comments chaps - I'm going off this old age thing rapidly ! Pekka I'm sorry to hear about your wife, and am glad to hear that she is recovering, please give her my best regards. Following prompting by Pekka's suggestion and also that thing's aren't getting any better I had a 'telephone consultation' with my Doctor this morning - Covid 19 still stopping normal visits - he reckons that it's muscular and is proscribing stronger pain killers - I hope that he's right! |

Thank you Andrew, I relayed the greetings and she said that "hope it is muscular and starts to get better soon, if not: you need to be checked". Her recovery is remarkable, we went swimming on the lake. And drove nearly 50 km on one go. No problems. Huge improvement and most importantly: no pain and she feels she is recovering fully. |
