Re: Not sure what to do !!!

So sorry to hear @Former-Member 

Thoughts are with you and Mr D xxx

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Hi @Shaz51 

 

I am sorry you are having so much pain and having signs of diabetes and diabetic arthritis in your legs - this is not good

 

Actually - I didn't know that diabetes caused arthritis - I know how painful arthritis is and it does continue - I hope you can travel in the front seat in cars - this is better than trying to scramble in and out of the back seat when there is just not enough room

 

I am pretty sure you don't get much in the way of pain-killers for the arthritis pain - I know OTC stuff like antiinfamtories can help but the Poor Little Kidney might now be able to cope with that - 

 

So tough that - how are things going for your kidney transplant. I keep thinking about that

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

over time uncontrolled diabetes can affect the muscles an skeleton leading to joint pain , nerve damage and other symptons my @Owlunar 

but also Kidney disease can also cause lots of problems like muscles , and joint problems

antiinfamtories , i can not take , so trying other ways 

but can take osteo paracetamol but not too many

Hi @Shaz51 

 

Life can deal a rough hand at times - I know you are already on a limited diet and there are medications you can't use because of kidney problems - would there was something that could be done

 

I don't always get around to reading all the posts so I have no idea how your kidney transplant is going - and it seems so hard that all of this has gone on so long - you are a real Aussie battler and I really wish you could get a break - 

 

Are you living with your Mum atm or is she in hospital - I remember she fractured her leg - at least I thought I read that - which would be hard for her to managed at home certainly - but I also think I read that she was at home - so I am not sure.

 

You do a great job caring for your Mum and Mr Shaz - I would be so kind if you could get a little care yourself

 

I do wish you the best Shaz - and I do know about osteo-arthritis - I have a lot of it - most from injuries I think - I inherited the tendency to develop arthritis from my grandmother who had it. I have it in my hands and feet as well as my damaged joints and spine. I know how testing it can be and I really feel for you

Hello my @Owlunar ❤❤

Took mum up to the hospital for a  redressing of her wounds 

Got back home and I fell asleep,  soo tired 

Yes you can only have a kidney  transplant when you reach a certain level , soo I will have to keep  on keeping on  until I get to that level --- which means I have to get a lot worse before that happens 

Mum has not been  the same since she broke her hip and with ongoing  bowel obstructions and  now I think she is getting  dementia 

I am now mum's carer And we are living at mum's  10 weeks now since our house fire
