Physiotherapy…

I had my first appointment with Tina, my physiotherapist at The Lister Hospital yesterday. To be fair, it was a pretty easy session as much of it was taken up with lots of questions on the history of my back problems. However, she has given me two new exercises to do, in place of a [...]

Just very quickly popping in to say “hello”. Unfortunately, I got taken into hospital after my right leg went into spasm three times in one day. The final time, my Beloved decided enough was enough and called for an ambulance; I was in absolute agony, stuck in a sort of hanging-off-the-edge-of-the-bed sort of position as I just [...]

Sciatica saga…

And so it continues…..
I thought things were going rather well ~ in fact, they were going rather well; I was getting much more flexible again, less pain, more movement and exercise in the form of walking and the exercises given to me by my Physiotherapist.  Then a couple of weeks back I came down with [...]

Shedding weight…

I joined Slimming World ~ online ~ at the end of January and to be perfectly frank, I was my usual half-hearted self in my attitude to the whole thing.  So much so that the first week I only shed one pound and in the second week, I actually gained three pounds!  Then, of course, [...]

I AM still here…

As yet I have not [...]

Oh Doctor, Doctor…

Well, I could finally stand it no longer and took myself off to see my GP about my back and leg pains yesterday.  He confirmed that it is indeed sciatica and has told me that as well as the ibuprofen which I am already taking, I can also take paracetamol ~ obviously, so long as I keep [...]

A bad back…

Oh dear, woe is me…..I’ve done something to my back.  I woke up yesterday as stiff as the proverbial board and to be honest I feel pretty much the same today, unfortunately.  I have suffered with back problems on and off since I was 18 years old, when I hurt myself by single-handedly attaching an extremely [...]

Happy Feet…

I just had to share with you a couple of fab products I used last night on my sad little tootsies!  My poor feet do tend to suffer with lots of dry, hard skin, especially on the underside of my heel area ~ a consequence, I should imagine, of carrying around so much weight every [...]
