PPP I was wondering if anyone has been though anything like this or has any advice. I started getting very painful legs last year, it’s worse in my knees and ankles but my whole leg aches even my thighs sometimes. Walking sometimes is really painful and added to the depression I had that also started last year I hardly went out, I’m a lot better with the depression now but still despise walking anywhere in the afternoon because my legs always hurt badly in the afternoon to the point I feel like I’m walking up hill and can’t walk any further. I’ve been to the rhemotologist (sorry if that’s spelt wrong) and was given diclofenic to take 3 times a day and it hasn’t helped. At this point I rely on codeine every night and amatryptaline or I don’t sleep til the early hours with leg pain. I only ever take codeine if I absolutely have to during the day as I have a 3 year old with autism that needs my full attention. The specialist I saw said I had hypermobile knees and ankles only slightly and referred me to physio I’ve been twice and really don’t see how my pain will improve by doing these exercises. I’m pretty sure I’m fully reliant on codeine now to get by with the pain. The Drs seem clueless to what could be wrong, arthritis was mentioned breifly but they said it couldn’t be that for some reason. There’s not a day that does by that my legs aren’t in pain. I’m overweight and wondered if that could be the problem. Being in pain all the time although I’m not as depressed as I was at the start of the year really affects my mood and i have been trying for a baby for 3 years with no success I don’t ovulate, I’ve started thinking even if I did get pregnant I don’t think I’d be able to cope with no medication for the leg pain for 9 months. I feel like the Drs just keep giving me codeine and sending me on my way. I’m always seriously fatigued in the afternoon, had bloods taken and nothing and just told it will be from the joint pain and deal with it basically. Being in pain and fatigued with a 3 year old isn’t good. I think people think I’m just lazy but I’m generally in pain.
