    My legs have been like this for years I think it's ra as I get swelling in both legs and knees wrists everywhere but she says it's not I do not belive it's because of the above how do I sort this out because its really annoying.
    Gp had a go at me saying they R only doing emergencies at the moment.

    @sparklebright628 I'm sorry to hear the GP had a go, have you got another at your practice for a second opinion? Who could be more supportive?

    Hi Woodbine

    I would change surgeries only I am waiting for an operation on my bowel so I wouldn't be happy changing as of yet as the one I am with is very close to where I live I would consider changing afterwards though.

    @Sparklebright628 That must be so frustrating. Have you thought about speaking to the Practice Manager about how the GP has been treating you?
