Health checks

[Justice]

I’m not expecting a rapid response from orthopaedics so don’t hold your breadth!

Unfortunately minor surgery to remove a SSC and BCC last week and Covid booster meant I had to have a ’holiday’ from my prescription of immunosuppressants so I have a massive flare up of my arthritis and neurological symptoms at the moment as well. The knee pain is excruciating but it is the calf muscles (constant cramping and stiffness) and shin bone pain which is making it very difficult to walk at the moment and so completely reliant on crutches/wheelchair.

If I were you, I would request your doctor refer you for an xray or MRI - ( I didn’t need to ask my doctor, my symptoms were pretty blatant.

Sorry to hear that, it must have been terrifying.

Glad it wasn’t too major and you are up and about (and typing well!).

Get well soon.

Got lucky mate thanks.

Unfortunately out of the blue I had a stroke Easter Sunday It happened in my sleep woke up and couldn’t move my right side arms or legs.
Got rushed to intensive care was there for a week now I’m on a stroke rehab ward which is excellent I’m now walking again un aided obviously not as good as before some days I look like I’m falling out the boozer after a heavy session

Now concentrating getting my right arm and hand working.
The NHS physio’s have been first class learning to walk again is not easy by any means.
As many of you know I’m a sparks by trade and they are bringing in plugs and tools making every effort to get me back working again.

When I see how strokes have effected some of these guys much younger than me I feel so thankful it didn’t effect my speech or memory. I struggle finding a few words but they will come back after time.

Unfortunately for me I was ill advised and having Crohn’s disease I should have been on blood thinners years ago as I now know it’s a killer for causing blood clots. Not much I can do about that now.

If you see anyone who you think may be having a stroke whether it be at the football, family members or wherever acting fast is so important it’s the difference between having a quality rest of life or needing care for the rest of their lives.

Do every thing you can to avoid a stroke people it’s frightening and horrid. one aspirin a day could prevent it obviously check with your doc first.

Enjoy the match if you are going I will be watching and will be making my post match comments known. I know you all love them so much

I wish you well in your recovery. Stay positive.
