Polymyalgia
Posted , 15 users are following.
Hello. A few months a go I was on this forum as I was diagnosed with polymyalgia my stating dose was 15 mg on the 12th December I went downto 12.5 mg and I have been fine however on the 23rd dec I developed an awful pain in my right bottom I had lifted a heavy parcel so I put it down to that , however the pain is still there and is affecting my walking I now have a new pain at the front top of my right leg , my gp said he thought that I had pulled a muscle in my bottom but surely it would be getting better by now. I am due a blood test this Friday and will see the doctor after. Has anyone els experienced anything like this ? Thankyou for reading this long post.

Someone suggested that you massage your own butt, but I can't image doing that myself. So I thought I'd share another method to massage that area. Use a tennis ball and sit on it lightly and roll the ball around by moving you body.

the tights sround your neck with the tennis balls in the feet of the tights dangling on either side of the back.. then you can position the tennis balls between you and a wall or between you and a chair seat and move up and down or rotate gently on the fleshy tender areas to gradually release the tender points ......and if the balls fall as they invariably do then they are easy to pick up in the tights and put back in place without having to scrabble around on the floor. Also good on long haul flights..... just sit on the balls and rotate.....

I'm sorry, but the picture in my head of someone doing this on a flight (especially the sardine can everyone except the well-heeled is transported in nowadays) made me laugh!

Wind here so strong that a small building collapsed, some roofs have blown off, schools closed for a second day in a row, we personally lost power for only about three hours in the middle of the night. But I'm not looking forward to the flash freeze which is bearing down on us as we had a lot of rain come in with this system.
No name for this system, but it's called a "weather bomb", and it is a meteorological term, the weatherman has just defined it on the radio this minute!

What country are you in? I know some of you are n Canada. I'm in Scotland, Britain. We've had freezing weather and strong winds but now we've just got endless rain.

I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada, on the Atlantic coast so bearing the brunt of the winds, although so far rain not snow. This system is departing for Newfoundland and no doubt will appear in some form or other on your shores! One of our visits to Scotland, train from London was last one in after that no planes or trains could get into Edinburgh. The hotel we arrived at was busily handling simultaneous cancellations from people who couldn't arrive, and new bookings from people who couldn't leave! There were trees blown down across the tracks so I guess we were lucky to get in. I remember remarking on the rough seas we could see at some point but had no idea how violent the storm really was until we arrived. A tour of Edinburgh University was interesting because the person we were with was so sad to see some of the big old trees uprooted or shattered. I think it was 2011. Another time, years earlier, I took one of my sons to Edinburgh Castle and we had difficulty climbing up the road, basically we kept being blown against the walls! So New Scotland and Old Scotland share experience of winds!

Yeah we get it very rough here - too rough we're hoping to move back to England soon although it can be rough there as well, but usually it's freak storms whereas we get them regularly up here. Plus we've had a summer of endless rain and it only stopped briefly just before xmas when we had a lot of snow, but now the rain is back. I've got a very boggy garden - and we're on a steep hill- the ground lower down is too sodden to absorb it, plus a very muddy dog.

The weather in Scotland really has changed a lot in the last 50 years. When we first went to uni there 45+ years ago May and October were wonderful, sunny and warm - we were on the east side and it was pretty dry but you went in hope if you went to the west coast for sun! When we returned from Germany the weather was far different to what it had been just 10 years before. Much windier and now, another 20 years later, much wetter. But when we moved south to the north east of England it was FAR colder!! Never been so cold in my life - wind straight from Norway via the North Sea!
But if I have to go back it would probably be to near Edinburgh.
