Update. I spent a vary disturbed night and the nerve or muscle in my right thigh kept twitching with each heart beat, and if I tried to move , a sharp pain would shoot down my leg. Climbing the stairs to bed is a mountainous effort, lifting myself one stair at a time, which took about five minutes to go up 13 stairs. I have to use two walking sticks to shuffle along. Sorry if I am boring you with my problem, but it helps take my mind off it. Thanks very much for your posts, as they help a lot.

the pain "may" go away i suppose, but then again it "may" come back again
i know all too well the agony of trying to get upstairs - my husbang had to help me every single night for about six months. In my opinion, the stairlift was well worth the money to me :) Also, you can apply under "special rules" for Attendance allowance which will help with the cost
