Hello Sqad.

[gness]

Thank you for your answer in my hip problem post. Saying that intermittent claudication (sp) should be eliminated prepared me and stopped me waffling.

It was his first thought when I described the symptoms. He would have liked an urgent appointment but can't do that until he sees the blood test results in about two weeks. I have a routine appointment with a vascular surgeon.

My symptoms seem severe especially as my legs are now cramping for no reason and I am coming to a standstill in dangerous places but visually my legs don't fit the diagnosis though the pulses were not great when he felt them. I can't recall what he said my legs should look like.

He explained the treatment if it is confirmed, which I prefer to the wait and see
answer often given. Also,I can it seems, push other arteries into taking over from damaged ones by walking through the pains which is what I have been doing til last week.

And my hips seem perfect! Haven't heard that in a long time. :-)

So... looking not too bad and thank you for helping. xx

wish you better, gness.....xxx wrapping our legs around pole might not be a good move, but if he is sitting down that will be easier......{:o)

Tone, the idiot Doc told me I had no tonsils - so I said what are those two large things protruding at the back of my throad with ulcers on.....twit Doc.

[TOWIE]

should have read ^^^your legs^^^ -

[tonyav]

Gonna have them out, Essex ?

[gness]

Oh Oh Oh...Nearly forgot. Letter today to say my breast lump is fine! NFA for three years!
Lord I'll be so fit soon I'll be unbearable. :-))) x

[tonyav]

Well I always thought that you must be a fit bird, gness lol.

[gness]

I quite like the Polish guy who does my car, Towie. I had my tonsils out when I was 40odd...by mistake and you have to swallow dry toast now, not ice cream.

Just testing a new feature where I can move questions to the correct category. You need to adjust your set.

[gness]

Ahhh. Thanks Tony. x Better than the tough old bird the gardening lad called me.

[TOWIE]

No Tone, I've lots of bits of me 'removed' but think I am too old for tonsils to be taken out - but as Doc says 'you have no tonsils' so how can they remove what is not there.....hahaha

gness, how did they remove your tonsils, by mistake (though nothing surprises me with the NHS).... good news about your breast lump (yep I've had one of them aswell, and it was removed)...{:o(

[gness]

Oooops. :-( What category am I? If I go to a serious one I feel I need to behave and I am too happy to do that.
You'd be extra happy Ed if you had just found out you had perfect hips and boobs.

[AB Editor]

"You'd be extra happy Ed if you had just found out you had perfect hips and boobs."

Not to mention surprised.

Peanut allergy diagnosed as tonsil problem because my throat kept swelling up, Towie. Mind you, if I was sharp I would have connected the two.

[TOWIE]

I thought you were a woman, Ed.

[Ann]

No its just his extra large six-pack Towie!

[gness]

Mmmmm. Guess you would now I think about it. :-)
Is there a perfect hips and boobs badge? I like the one I have but it's nice to be different.

[gness]

Lordy...I've been moved. Just like school when I was often asked to sit elsewhere........like the Protestant school over the road.

Time to creep I think...here goes.

[DTCwordfan]

Oh for a moment I thought you wrote "Prostitute school over the road," gness

[DTCwordfan]

How can you have a throat like that for 3 weeks, Den, action is needed.....

[gness]

Look here DT. I seem to be in Health and Fitness now! Can we go off topic?
Now that would have been an interesting school. :-)
