I am 68 years old a former footballer and sports centre manager. I have put on weight steadily since retirement and now weigh 21 stone and have pains in my upper thighs after walking a short distance and if I stand still I get pins and needles down my legs. Other than that I have an enlarged prostrate which I have pills for and need the toilet every 2 hours breaking my sleep. I have had blood and urine tests for everything including diabetes and thioride and regular psi checks and blood preasure checks and they all come back as normal. Recently I have a flue like ach all day forcing me to take two Anadin Extra every morning which makes me feel much better. Paracetamal and other pain killers don t work. My major problem is I now cannot walk more than 100 yards without sitting down ,when I sit down the pain goes away.
