You are all so kind. We have tried several pain killers and we are now on the paracetamol. I convinced him to take the maximum dose which should help. He has had X-rays and the doctor has examined him and I don't think it is arthritis. I suspect bursitis as I have had it and know how it feels. Of course I just got on with things - wincing a little.
He says he isn't depressed and I believe him as I know if he was he would say he was a little. Maybe we just have to wait for this to pass. Unfortunately we don't have anything much planned this week so will see what next week brings.
Maybe it is a help worrying about him as it means I forget about myself.
Thank you again ladies - it is has helped just talking about it.
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
