Lactic acid

[boycie]

Hi just wondering if there's anyone who has the same symptoms I have. I suffer muscle burn like you have when you have done some exercise, the thing is I get it doing almost all the time except when I'm resting.

I have the same can only get up one flight of satires and my legs are burning so bad that I have to stop same apples to walking I have to build up by stoping at interval but gradually gets better as I walk further frustrateing as I was able to clime 3 flights of stairs about a year ago

Great to hear from, I'm sorry you have the same problem as I do, my Dr still says its not my CKD, that's the frustrating part, do you also get shortage of breath?

Hi boycie, I'm CKD3 and I find that I get this if I climb too many stairs, or even walk too far. Also frequently get cramps in my toes. I can only think it's because the kidneys don't take the lactic acid away fast enough. The doctors of course say that it's nothing to do with CKD! Best wishes xx

Hi granny Chris I have exactly the same but the cramps in my toes occasionally all I get from my Gp is I don't know.

hi granny chris thanks for you're reply, lactic acid isn't much fun but it does help when you know there are other people who have the same symptoms. I'm off to see my kidney dr on Thursday i'll mention lactic acid to him again

keep smileing.
