Well last may my back went, for the 2nd time, i was sent for physio, as the weeks passed i was getting worse from the excercises they asked me to do, i kept telling them that all the

top part of my body was hurting, but they didnt listen. In the end i saw the top physiotherapist, i was passed over but before that the tests involved reflex tests touch tests, when these were done chris my therapist at that time tried to find the man i was to see on my last visit he too did reflex tests touch tests using objects like a tissue the stick end of the reflex tester down my feet. It was then that he said becuase i was seeing my gp that afternoon, he wanted to send me with a letter and that there is something wrong with both my legs, but no relation to my back, he said he belived i had fibro. I took the letter but i have never seen it nor have i been told what was said about my legs. I just assumed it was part of fibro xxx

my legs are always painful, i cant curl up on sofa, they hurt when i walk upstairs, they go numb alot and when im out i can walk so far quite well, then suddenly they start to ache and feel like lead and it really slows me down, when i kneel down to make a fire for example i get shotting pains down the sides of my legs, i dont know how else to descirbe the problem i have with them.
