Sqad! Urgent Opinion Because I'm Vain.

[gness]

I know I'm Irish and we have our legs on upside down but.....since starting on the statins in November my legs and feet have started to swell...no pitting but quite a lot of fluid. Never had this problem before. BP is fine.
Struggled to look good in the black trousers last week so I stopped taking them five or six days ago. Still some swelling but I'm sure the statins are to blame...I think.
Do you have an opinion please? Gx

Boxy...all my life I wanted boobs. Never had any. If I tied my hair back people would say..Hello son.....
Then....sometime in my fifties they appeared.....two of them...needing support because the bu99ers had arrived just in time to start heading south. :-(

There's your answer. The boobs have migrated to your ankles.

^^ ROFL !

Boxy.......have you ever posted a question then felt you had gone off into a fantasy universe? But those pictures are terrific! Will now have peas for dinner and find a more interesting use for my cabbage.
Abstibus.......I'm watching you.....;-) x Though half an hour on my inversion tale will test your theory.

I had fluid in my left leg following a bout of cellulitis which caused my leg to ulcerate .I had to wear compression socks ( prescribed by the doctor) for ages but they did the trick .
They're not exactly the height of fashion though !
You should put your legs up as often as possible above the level of your heart.
Try some cooling leg gel and keep your legs moisturised all the time .

Good answer from shaney.

I am now going to stand well out of the way while Gness does handstands

[abstibus]

Well, gness. You could wear your bra on your ankles, but it might be difficult to walk.

[albaqwerty]

Shaney, would you mind letting Dee Sa know?
Her husband is in hospital at the moment with a nasty ulcer on his leg, intravenous antibugs, or may I copy your post and send it to her?

[mrs_overall]

Gness, do you suffer from chest pains when you get out of bed on a morning? It could be you are standing on your nipples...


Oh I am SO dead now

[gness]

I think I'll try that Shaney...even if I have to bling them up.

Wait til I do handstands at the bar in Whitby....you'll be sorry!

Can't walk with the weight of all the cabbages anyway,Ab.

[gness]

So sooooooo DEAD!!!!!

[shaneystar2]

Of course alba .Cellulitis is a nasty thing .If Mr Dee Sa has it then he has my sympathies .I hope he soon feels better .

[shaneystar2]

They do the socks in black btw .You don't have to have granny style American Tan :)

[gness]

Black! I love black and I can stick sparkles on them....Yay!!!!!

[albaqwerty]

Thanks Shaney x

[DTCwordfan]

I thought sparkles were minty's domain.....

[gness]

Ah you are right DT and of course there is Sparkles the Aber....who is now hanging around my ankles.

[DTCwordfan]

I didn't know that Sparkles wore French knicks; you learn something everyday here....

[abstibus]

Shaney's advice about keeping your legs above the level of your heart sounds fascinating. And full of potential.
But I was serious about the socks and the cabbage leaves.
