Thank you for your answer in my hip problem post. Saying that intermittent claudication (sp) should be eliminated prepared me and stopped me waffling.
It was his first thought when I described the symptoms. He would have liked an urgent appointment but can't do that until he sees the blood test results in about two weeks. I have a routine appointment with a vascular surgeon.
My symptoms seem severe especially as my legs are now cramping for no reason and I am coming to a standstill in dangerous places but visually my legs don't fit the diagnosis though the pulses were not great when he felt them. I can't recall what he said my legs should look like.
He explained the treatment if it is confirmed, which I prefer to the wait and see
answer often given. Also,I can it seems, push other arteries into taking over from damaged ones by walking through the pains which is what I have been doing til last week.
And my hips seem perfect! Haven't heard that in a long time. :-)
So... looking not too bad and thank you for helping. xx

No Tone, I've lots of bits of me 'removed' but think I am too old for tonsils to be taken out - but as Doc says 'you have no tonsils' so how can they remove what is not there.....hahaha
gness, how did they remove your tonsils, by mistake (though nothing surprises me with the NHS).... good news about your breast lump (yep I've had one of them aswell, and it was removed)...{:o(
