Hi Tish!

I am sorry you are having problems with your legs, because I am too and currently it has taken over as the most painful part of my body as far as adhesions go!

Just in the last three weeks especially I have noticed a huge jump in pain levels and I have been using my heat packs, walking a circuit around my house... that is, I walk from my bedroom down our long hallway (5 bedrooms, two linen cupboards, the main Bath room are all of this hallway, so it's LONG! LOL

Then I am in the family room, walk through to the formal Lounge room, into the front lobby, thru to formal dining room, into the kitchen, back into the family room & up to my bedroom, I do half a dozen of these "circuits" to stimulate blood flow in my legs I guess and to make sure my muscles aren't getting too stiff from the pain.

I have also gone back to wearing my full legged surgical stockings, you know the ones they tell you to wear on overseas plane trips now? To stop the blood clots in the legs?

Well, I kept mine after my surgery a couple of months ago and I have started wearing them when I am out of the house, OR if my pain levels have increased significantly, then I have to get Shane to help me put them on because I can't always manage them on my own.

I thought perhaps my suggestions would be of interest to you and worth trying. Let me know if it helps you too ok? Oh, does your leg pain start with very sharp and painful spasms in the groin? Mine does.
