Kerrie still waiting for an appointment to see Consultant, its been over a month now since my Physio said she would refer me, nothing through the post yet, will give it another day and the ring surgery and see what they can suggest.
When the weather is hot and humid as it is now, it cause body swelling for me including feet and hands and it has made my lower left back hip and leg seem to ache more especially in the evening and when I go to bed. The swelling has gone by the morning and once I get up and have a bath it feels OK. I have been using freeze gel and its good for lower back and hot feet and ankles.
Walking in very hot and humid weather can cause problems even for some who don't have mechanical problems.
Do hope you hear something soon.
