Thanks everyone, been to GP and physio. Physio concerned there may be a fracture ( I fell about three weeks ago !) so Im having an X-ray tomorrow , she's not keen to do anything until results are through, but she has advised using a walking stick meantime ! GP gave me loads of analgesia, muscle relaxants, anti imflamatories etc, but to be honest, the side effects are so frightening especialy for the Naproxen, I will stick to paracetamol. Im so fed up , Im used to running around and being busy, this is so strange being practically housebound. I love walking but cant walk more than a few yards before having to stop.
