Just read through this post..
I am pleased that your results were all clear Dextrous... Good news..

Tabby... Hope them creaky knees are feeling stronger.. I too am not a warm weather person.. I try to avoid the sun at all cost.. It doesn't like me for some reason..

[dextrous63]

Thanks Scrumps.

hoping that my right leg will stop trying to collapse under me - started yesterday lunch time and is a real problem at the moment - having to use the walker and no prospect of stepping outside the house until it improves 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Gosh, that's not good Michael.  What's the reason for it?

[Michael Rolls]

No idea - just went. The left leg did something similar a couple of years ago, depositing me on the floor a couple of times - this time, so far, when it wanted to be difficult I was able to grab something - the leg aches from the hip to the knee, My balance is poor at the best of times and this isn't helping. Thank heaven this is a bungalow and I have the walkers, otherwise I would be in real trouble.
Don't want to over-egg things - sitting down I am fine, no pain - it's only when I need/want to get up and move around that the trouble starts

Could it be a trapped nerve in your spine, or the Sciatic nerve?

Perhaps a  good Chiropractor could help sort that out, Michael?   You could ask your GP.

[dextrous63]

Hopefully just a temporary inflammation preventing a nerve from sending signals to the relevant muscles🤷🏻�♂️

Yes,  maybe,  but it's dangerous for Michael if he lives alone and keeps falling.
It needs sorting.

my GP referred me to the falls clinic - saw them earlier in the month, but no real help, to be honest. The general consensus seems to be 'what can one expect at your age?' I am 87 on Sunday - I have been given a raft of exercises over the years and I do use them, but they haven't led to an improvement, although to be fair I might be even worse if I hadn't used them. At the moment there is no way I could get to the medical centre in safety I can't get a walker into the Mondeo's stupid little boot thanks to the huge battery, but my s-i-l and b-i-l arrive tomorrow so if it continues we will work something out.

[Scrumpy]

All my love to you Michael..
I am pleased your family are arriving tomorrow..

[Michael Rolls]

me too! Thanks for the good wishes

[klondike]

They couldn't have come at a better time. I hope the leg cures itself as the other one did. From what you say it seems it will have to.

[dextrous63]

Indeed.  Best wishes Michael.  Still plenty of life in the old dog yet!!
