Flare up

Last week got harder and harder as the days went by with my feet and anfles in agony, my toes and fingers have felt like have been in a vice.

Over the past few weeks I've been getting a stabbing pain to the right of my groin/hip area which is followed by very uncomfortable burning down the outside of my leg.

I've been attending our local Hyperbaric Chamber for oxygenation treatment and it has definetely given me the ability to continue through the day with a little more energy but today I struggled with my breathing so that must be me still getting of the flare up.

We are all going though this battle the same I know so the little improvements like the Hyperbaric are sometimes really worth hearing about.

      nope hun dont do doctors , unless its something i cant sort myself

      dont believe in drugs to cover pain pain is there for a reason 

      to tell u something is wrong,

      i use natrual stuff to make it barable 

      my choice is not to spend my life sat in hospital and doctors waiting rooms waiting to be pulled about  poked and proded and being given drugs that cause other problems that need more drugs , 

      they cant do anything .so why bother , if they could cure it id be first in line 

      but until then .il just manage the pain .but each must deal with it in there own way .

      I totally agree with you. Dr's can't cure us, so why fill our bodies with drugs that cause problems. I have weaned myself off most drugs, and just keep taking the Oramorph. It does give some relief.

      Have a good day..Regards...Anne..biggrin

      The Manx meat on or from the Isle of Man is possibly the best in the UK maybe you could ask your butcher

      i would agree with you because i believe they are fed like they are supposed to be . on grass and hay in winter. change there diet you get problems just like we have now with humans . stupid bloody wacko diets this is good for you this is bad for you drives me mad .

      simple rule nothing out of a packet or a tin is good for you 

      it wont harm you in small amounts but its not good for you 

      eat what suits if your body copes with meat eat it if it dosent dont etc 

      eat the best you can afford .and always have your veg .best diet was the war diet but we were all very active then so the high carbs where useful now unless active it would proberly make us gain weight. 

      remember the old rhyme , jack sprat could eat no fat and his wife could eat no lean but together they licked the platter clean . in other words eat what suits and leave the rest alone. best plan i think. were in yorkshire our meat comes from local area.

    Sounds like illiotibial band syndrome basically it's to do with way your walking causing excessive rotation in the lateral quadrant of the thigh

    overuse symptom in legs is common in runners but also shows up with a biomechanics fault generally through a functional short leg

    you could try raising heel in shoes on right side only up to 3mm -5mm

    the pain is more likely to be from psoas muscle due to hip imbalance

    suggest you see good biomechanics podiatrist or chiropractor or similar

    I have the same pain in my feet, ankles, hands hips etc but I have osteoarthritis and my pain worsens when I walk. My hands arms and feet have now become puffy and I have a lot of nerve pains in my arms and thighs. I was under a rheumatologist but as tiswas says, no one can take the pain away. Steroid injections used to help my spine for a while but the pain returns and they are not good to keep repeating. We are all falling apart. Thanks for recommending hyperbaric as I've never heard of it before so will look into it. Thanks

      Bit more worried with your symptoms bilateral oedema genenerally indicates systemic illness

      Can be caused by kidney lungs heart

      deep pain in groin can indicate urinary tract infection

      hands and feet oedema is heart and that does need looking into

      pains in arms but as you have oedema poss more concerned about heart or lungs

      please get that checked the fact air helped does indicate lungs the reduced air can cause heart probs as can steroid usage
