i have had quite a lot of problems lately with mobility, severe arthistis in knees ankles and hips. my macmillian nurse has great.for the short term i have been loaned a wheelchair and walking stick.these past few days have been really bad and havent been able to go upstairs and have been sleeping down stairs.yesterday i went for bone scan which all was going well untill it was fininshed, when trying to sit up my back froze big syle and was in complete agony. to cut it short it took 45 mins to get up and scared me witless.rang gp whom sent out ot for a rapid assessmet team with adaptations to tied me over the weekend and are coming back monday to do full assessment, regarding aids hopefully temporary. i really dont know why this is happening but is really getting me down its like 2 steps forward 5 back. at the begining of the week i was feeling ok even though mobility bad could still get about feels like an hurdle in place every time i turned. will they ever a light at the end of the tunnel. thanks for listening.babs.

This sounds awful Babs, what a horrible time and right before xmas. I hope things improve soon and your bone scan is clear. The fact that your back seized up when you were getting up sounds like a muscular thing but I dont know really (how can I) Sending HUGS and get well soon vibes. Love Jools x
Hiya Babs, sorry to see that ur not too clever just now! I can only wish you all the best and I hope you get it sorted quickly!, Wishing you a great Christmas and a very good painless new year! Keep smiling! Geoff & Caz ! ( I know its hard) xxxxx
Poor Babs, just getting over one thing and now this. It must be very frustrating for you and I sympathise. I also have been sleeping downstairs for the past 6 weeks since having skin graft to my ankle and told not to do stairs yet! I'm now a lot better and hoping to get to my own bed tonight but worried I will have to fight off the spiders to get there lol!
I hope you feel better soon and that they can sort something out to help you.
I'm so sorry to hear about your arthritis problems - it's so painful and makes even getting out of a chair a major undertaking. I do hope your scan is clear, and that the doctors manage to sort out your mobility - and pain relief - very soon.
That is agonising, and it makes even the simplest task impossible without help. I am glad that your GP has sorted you with some aids for the weekend and we shall all keep our fingers crossed for a good result for your bone scan. I "did my back in" once just leaning at the wrong angle to turn off a switch, and know how excruciating it is even trying to get from lying down to standing up.
