Thank you cookie, much appreciate your comments....my last blood test showed high uric acid so maybe I could have some gout as well, and will have that checked out....Yes, I just came back from a walk (stumble) around our local mall, first feet started hurting and were hot, and gradually the pain went up my legs, calve muscles especially hurt, so much so that I had to stop, wait a little, then can go again....wonder if you have the problem that I have of when sitting, or driving for even a short time, when I get up or out of my van, I can hardly walk, must stand still for a bit, or would probably fall over. Anyway not so much fun, but will ask my doctor about other medications to alleviate foot pain. Thanks again, Terry
