Reply To: Calf Pain
Alright Joe?
It can be a struggle to get them to take you seriously quite often, we just have to be persistent i suppose.
The neurologist just sent me an appointment for her clinic in early March. That is encouraging at least what with covid scuppering the annual review these last two years.
I think it is the disconnect between a healthy, attractive, I suppose quite sporty professional, and some hobbling, overweight, unemployed, socially isolated individual like me. It might be the ‘lost in translation thing’, but I usually get the impression that she thinks I just need to shake myself down and change my lifestyle. (Benefit claimants have pretty reduced horizons as my life experience can attest.)
This time I am going to be more insistent that my pain is significant, in fact I have put up with it for to many years. I don’t know what is the next step up from gabapentin, but I want it!
I keep hearing tge ciren call of tge mobility scooter, but I want to avoid that until absolutely necessary. I have been looking at a type of walker called a ‘Veloped’. It us expensive but would still get my legs moving rather than sitting all day.
