Down the back of my right leg, now retreated to just the buttock, but

were
all the way down into my calf during the first week, I do not as a rule

get
cramp and have in the past been (slightly!) unsympathetic to being woken

in
the middle of the night by my otherwise lovely wife rampaging around the
bedroom on one leg and swearing but I now get the point, it hurts

especially
if it wont go away.
Still I can just about touch my toes again which is a blessing as I kept
seeing weeds then regretting the swift bend to remove same!
The thing I found worked best was to keep changing what I was doing so 5
mins at the key board followed by 10 mins weeding etc. I am fortunate as

I
think in time it will mend, and I do not suffer from asthma so was able

to
take the pills.

I was going to say sciatica Charlie which is usually buttock to knee.
My other half says that as it is getting better probably a bt of that
and also straining ligaments, muscles etc.

Did you know that A&E in hospitals are so busy at this time of year,
mostly with garden related problems, backs usually, disc problems and
injuries to feet etc with forks, spades!!!

I hope you get completely better soon.

I can well believe it! I thought I was fit, but it seems I need to do some
warm ups and stretches before starting my day, doc recommended Pilatis
(goodness knows the correct spelling) sounds about right. I normally happily
pick up 50kg sacks, as of now am sticking to 20kg or less, so I am getting
fitter as twice as many trips!!
