The combined effects of Diabetes,Arthritis of hips and spine, and old age, now combine to make walking a painful experience for me. I grieve about this because in my life I have enjoyed walking for recreation, it was one of my great pleasures. Nowadays all I can manage is a slow shuffle with frequent rests. Going uphill is torture, so is climbing stairs. I don't want to remain housebound, or to forgo interesting travel, so have tried every kind of painkiller my DR can prescribe, all to no effect.
An aquaintance has told me of a 'folk' remedy his family swore by, namely Cider Vinegar. I must admit I've never heard of this before but I'm ready to try anything that might make me walk pleasurably again.
Can any 'Catter advise me on this? How much to take? Neat ot with water or mixer? How often, etc? I will be very grateful for any advice. Especially if it works. Thank you in advance. Roy.
