Legs still slightly sore after training hike on Friday- but that is nothing to the pain people with arthritis have to put up with. Like Jean, a 93 year old lady we met in Edale on Friday- she'd had 2 hip replacements 20 years ago and her ankles were all twisted- yet she was still up and walking, albeit with 2 sticks. She was in a lot of pain though 'Do you think I will drop dead soon with the pain?' she asked ' I hope not!' I replied. 'Tell me, you medical scientist type people, how do you stop the pain from worn out bones and cartilage? All my doctor gives me is paracetamol.' 'I don't know!' I pathetically reply! She said we had made her day by talking with her and thanked us. I would like to thank her as it was a most appropriate end to our practice walk- and a much needed reality check, inspiration and added motivation!!!
