    FOR GOODNESS SAKE, GO AND SEE YOUR GP IMMEDIATELY .

    Why did you put up with such pain in yours legs for so long? you must learn how important it is to keep your doctor informed about any changes affecting your body. THAT IS YOUR DOCTOR'S JOB. IF HE OR SHE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THESE SIDE EFFECTS, how are they going to know that your HRT isn't suitable for you? Your doctor will prescribe a different one for you and hopefully that will suit you perfectly.

    'PHONE FOR AN APPOINTMENT FIRST THING TOMORROW

    GOOD LUCK
