Thanks Kitty I'll look at them tomorrow when I go to town. I told him to try lying on the floor so this afternoon when I went out with Taffy he did. Trouble was he couldnt get back up again - he had to wait until I came home to pull him up
You've got to laugh
If he slept like that at night & he needed to go to the Loo - as he does every couple of hours he'd be stuck
He didnt eat all his tea tonight as he said he felt too shattered - not like him at all
Apparently the pain started in his groin & hip area & he thought it was the start of Arthritis in his hip - he was thinking the worse & had himself down for a new hip
I said it wouldnt come on so quick & stay so long. The pain then spread to his back & now its in his back, shoulders & neck. I suppose that is caused by holding himself in a funny position to try to ease the back pain.
If he takes some Co-codamol & Ibruprofen before bed it does give him a couple of hours sleep before they wear off & now he has started taking some more in the middle of the night just to last him till morning.
Thanks everybody for your suggestions - much appreciated.
