Got my crutches

[Amanda]

My physio called me this morning and I have been to collect my crutches from the hospital.

After all this time of being in pain, I can at least now walk, although slowly. I was dreading getting them, but now I have them, they are a godsend. They relieve loads of the pressure when I'm walking, and are making it a lot easier to get around. Only thing is now that my hands hurt, not helping the mild carpel tunnel I have! Never happy, me!!

Not that you would want to go anywhere in this heat!

glad you finally got your crutches.. you'll be speeding along on them in no time...

I was thinking about you today... if you can't sit for long, stand for long or lie for long - what do you do? must be a night mare... Really hope the crutches start helping you get about. The next stage is a wheel chair.. but then you'd have to get out and push it very so often as you can't fit for long...

I'm coming back a man.. we definatly drew the short straw...

Aww Tankett glad you feel better (a little bit)

Well i did a bit of cleaning tonight at my dads place first time i haved worked since Jack and OMG i got home and the pain in my groin/pelvis is unbelievable.

It feels like when i was pregnant, i am going to have to go back to the docs i think

Hope they are making u feel better hun, typical NHS no rush with them.

Take care on them crutches

I think you should definitely go back to the doctors Yvonne. When I picked my crutches up, the physio told me that DH would be able to bring them back to that department while I was in labour as the pain would go straight after. I did query that I knew someone who still had it, and their baby was 6 months old, and she said that was impossible! Obviously it's not, but it sounds unusual hun. She's been a physio for over 30 years, and is the senior one at my local hospital.

Hayley - I can lay in bed okay, just not flat on my back. No, lots of reading gets done!!

 

[hayley]

reading.... yea!!!! with that young husband of yours...

You know what..i would do that..but you cant sell people on ebay

Well i am not sure what happening then Tankett.

I am definately still getting pain and really achy pains in the groin area, if i walk for a while i start to struggle and sometimes turning over in bed is quite hard.
I hooved quite a bit yesterday and i was in alot of pain, i can't get up off the floor easily either.

It feels exactly the same as when i was pregnant but not as painful.

But my physio did say that my right side of hip is a bit higher than my left and that it has alot of movement but i'm not sure if that was SPD related.

it never rains but pours for me

Glad you are a bit more mobile now Tankett. Hope the crutches continue to make life a bit easier.
