Thanks Trixybird,

Sam - thanks hun, the past joint problems I've had were vascular so orthopaedics wouldn't be able to help with that but they may take me under their wing!

I used to do a lot of swimming, it did hurt my ankle as my joints on my right leg were never very strong and my foot used to just flop about a bit but it's good as it's non impact exercise. I don't tend to do it anymore because it's a lot of trouble with having a colostomy but I should probably get back into it when I can afford it!

Thanks Chris
