I have been housebound for a little while because of a savage pain in my right hip, thigh, calf and foot. I have been walking in a bent up way to try and lessen the pain in my thigh.
I rang 111 and was given an out of hours appointment on Friday evening. Diagnosis was sciatica and arthritis in my hip.
Advice was to go to my GP for further exploration and I shall ring tomorrow. In the meantime, does any Gransnetter have advice, please, on what I can do to lessen the chances of another sciatic attack and prevent any more damage to the hip. I do like to find ways of helping myself and not relying solely on the NHS. Thank you.
Things you find stressful that other people don't notice.
How do you acknowledge Easter.
