What do i have to do to be painfree...................

Morning everyone,well here i am after having a good cry. Last night i went out to ladies club,i decided to walk home as it was dry and it though it was a bit windy i thought it would do me good. If i needed him hubby would fetch me. I felt really proud of myself that i did it. I slept well last night and i only had a loo break twice. I got up this morning and i ache all down my right side. Even my back hurts this morning,but whats strange about this complaint is its only down my right side.I know i'm overweight and i know it doesn't help,but when i try to exercise gently i pay for it.I sat here after my breakfast and i cried in my hubbys arms. He feels useless because he can't take my pain away. He helps by cuddling me which is a big thing that helps.

I will ring my drs this morning and get an appointment to see what help i can get. I am seeing my psychio on tuesday due to my knee hurting. He told me to get a blood test which i have done.

I hope you are all in a better place and painfree this morning....

Carolyn,thank you,so the weather is not knd to you either. At least we are not up north,they are going to have some snow so the weatherman predicted.

I love your photo as you look so cheerful. Love sylvi.xxx

in reply to sylvi

That's so kind of you Sylvie. I'm afraid I'm one of those people who never likes photos of myself, and I can assure you I'm not always that happy!!

It's cold, wet and extremely dark here, so hopefully we won't get any really bad weather later............but who knows?

Love

I find crying very therapeutic (or at least that's my excuse!) It must be so frustrating to exercise and then to sleep well & end up feeling worse.

Maybe if you exercise that bit more gently?

Thermal time here in Shropshire too! But at least we saw the sun this morning after a week of dense fog 24/7.

Hope you have a better day tomorrow,

Christina xx

Ladies,it is 12.40am and i am down here. My hands and my knees are very sore,i have put the heating pad on my knees,i got my arthur gloves on and the snuggle wrapped round me as well.

Christina, i too find a good cry helpful,i have had another howl i bed bless him,he has so much on his plate looking after me. I didn't think the gentle walk home thursday night would have this impact on me. Hubby picked us up from the fashion show friday night. He told me not to think about walking from the village,yes i am stupid but i wasn't that stupid.

My neck is playing up as well as my back. I couldn't get comfy in bed at all. I wondr how much the weather has to do with how i am as it is very windy and cold here here in costa bulkington.

Thank you ladies for your support and i hope you all sleep well. Love sylvi.xxx

Hope the pain eases up today. Our mind tell us we can do it but the body

next day complains bitterly. Yesterday I decided I could put the rabbit run

on the lawn all by myself, I needed to give her a full clean out so decided

ten minutes on the lawn would be OK whilst I did it.

I usually let her loose up the garden but on my own it is hard to catch her

so the run prevents that.

Well I struggled with the blasted thing, it's huge, I pulled it and turned it so as

it was square, it took ages.

Today, every muscle hurts and my knees are shot, I stupidly said, "what have

I done that has started this off" think my memory is going as well LOL.

We will bounce back Sylvi, keep warm today and take it easy.

sylvi my hero

im a bit confused you walked back and you have a chair to get round in i think you said in earlier blogs ive read.

if you are walking only once in a while this is going to hurt.

why not set yourself a little exersise regime to get in some sort of the body knows what to do when you walk some distance first time of.

ie every other day walk down to where you feel comfutoble and walk back bear in mind where you walked up to next time walk only to the next house along if you feel comfortoble with that a little bit further. next house

dont do it all in one go which you seem to have done here.

people round here think im mad thats what i started to do to get back to fittness in i started with 10 houses WELL SOME SORT OF FITNESS.

Hope you are better soon!!

Minka, i walk quite a lot round the house and into the garden. I do the exercises that my psychio gave me for my leg and i do those every morning. I try to be active. Tuesday we went on the severn valley railway and i walked all day as we were getting on and off trains and it would have been too difficult to take my scooter. Then thursday i went to ladies club which is where i walked from and its not far really. Then last night we went to a fashion show up the village centre and though hubby dropped us of and picked us up, still did a bit of walking. I was supposed to go to our poppy launch today,but i have had to give it a miss as i ache too much. The weather isn't kind to me either,i find that when the weather is bad i am also.

Thanks minka for your kind wiashes. Sylvi.xx

My hubby and daughter went to poppy launch in nuneaton this morning and when they got back they said i was wise not to go as it was freezing cold. My poor daughter was carrying the standard and she has to wear a skirt,underneath she has her thermals on to keep her warm. Hubby wears a vest and his leather waistcoat and they both came home freezing cold. I'm dissapointed as my daughter led the parade today.

My insoles are a nuisance as well as there are few shoes that i'm able to put them in as my shoes are not deep enough.

I hate this disease and this blooming weather. No wonder i have got a good lot of presents for xmas.

You have a lovely day. sylvi.xx

ya i hate the insole to must have been disapointing not to see that syl

whent to our garrys for a ride out yesterday and i realy for once felt good not much knee and ankle ache thought oh i might be on the mend a bit here so i didnt do to much walking yesterday paid for it today though what a let down.

wonder if its cos i didnt do me knee and ankle massage i hae with the old olive oil an exersise i used out of a book along time ago that worked,

so im not looking forward to going shopping today sly

wifes got me cold so she didnt want to go yesterday shopping everyone seems to be getting this gold and flem that seem to last for weeks dosnt seem to help ontop of other problems

well im going to podiatry next week so might have a word with them about the insoles i got.

im like you ya need deeper shoes to take them and im a problem child with shoes have more than a woman wife says and you dont use half of them cos they hurt.

regard s john

sylvi in reply to minka

I think John if i start buying more shoes my hubby would have a fit. I have some lovely shoes and i'm reluctant to get rid of them to get a pair that my insoles will fit into.

I still ache John and i really don't know why,so tuesday i'm seeing my psychio and then on wednesday i'm seeing my gp and hopefully i will get somes answers to why i am in so much pain.

You have a good day John and my regards to your wife. sylvi.xx

Reassure your hubby that what he did is important...my ex boyfriend...said once that he was completely at a loss of what to do for me...and he is a problem solver to the "nth" degree. This frustrated him and he strayed. All of you out there need to do this...tell him and show him how much it means to u to have the emotional support and the physical...think of all of the stuff they do for you. And think of how it would be without them. I don't have anyone anymore. Also...find something to talk about besides your health or the house or the kids...watch the news...read the paper...find something...anything that you two can talk about that does not require him solving a problem. Put on a brave face for a few hours. Be that woman he fell I love with. I wish I had.
