Shooting pain in leg, starting from ankle….

Intermittent Claudication. Have you been diagnosed with arterial disease of any type because IC is a complication of this caused by restricted blood flow to the lower limbs. The pain is felt on exercise and in the later stages as resting pain. The pain is worse at night and is relieved by dangling the affected limb over the edge of the bed, or sleeping in a chair with your legs down. If you think this might be the cause it’s important you see your GP as soon as you can because there can be complications if it’s left untreated.

Look up Polymyalgia (? spelling) sounds very like my FinL...

That’s what worried me when I had a shooting pain in my other leg. I was going to try to see my doctor but it didn't come back. I’ll keep a record of what’s happening and try to get an appointment when I’ve had the windows fitted. I’m due for some kind of check up: apart from having vaccinations I haven’t seen a doctor for years. I can’t be I’ll at the moment…I haven’t even got a bed to be ill in!
