Pollyanna!

I've whinged about buying crutches so much, recently, that Rob took some of our Christmas money and bought me a pair! We've adjusted them to fit and I've worked out how to use them when I can't lean on my wrists. Hurrah!

It seems an odd thing to hurrah about, mind.

Doesn't seem odd to me. Hooray for improved walking!

I don't think I knew that your joints were still quite that bad, though.

More "again" than "still" - I think the possibly-rheumatism has unfortunate interplay with the longstanding SPD. My feet have swollen so much I've gone up a shoe size.

Oh - I thought the SPD was only a thing that happened while you had pregnancy hormones. Didn't realise it was all the time! Wow, you poor thing :/

Not having a proper diagnosis is truly annoying.

Once the ligaments holding my hips together were damaged due to the SPD the damage was permanent. It's not actually SPD any more but it's directly caused by it.
