Post by: loubrownlie on August 05, 2020, 07:58:27 PM
Just seems to be one thing after another  >:(

First started with vertigo, then acid and indigestion, think might have ibs. Weight piled on. |Constantly on the toilet. Also had gastritis.

Now when go for a walk, buttocks are hurting after walking for a bit, doesnt hurt when walking about at home, pain down the legs, anybody else had this.

Yep that sounds like sciatica: pain down the legs which should ease with walking.  I get it when I haven't knelt to pick stuff off the floor or whilst weeding.

Indigestion is common - as oestrogen levels drop so muscles may become lax including the digestive tract.  I get dreadful acid reflux .

Browse round. make notes ;-)
