Oh dear i'v just been replying to the post about what's scary about getting older. I said I didn't want to moan about my health and I'm just about to do just that. I noticed yesterday out of the blue that my ankle really hurts. I haven't twisted it. It's no better this morning and my knees hurt and my wrists. My wrists completely collapse if I hold something heavy. More worrying I'm limping and I carnt seem to correct my gait. It's a hot pain that can become excruciating every now and again. The sort that momentarily takes your breath away. I'v had warmish joints for a few years now and just ignored it. I really don't want to go to see my lovely GP so wondered if any of you could throw any light on what's going on. Thanks ( please tell me off if I post too many of this type of post)
