Thanks to all of you for your replies, it does help always to know you are not alone in these strange things happening to the body. I think you are quite right regarding the compressed nerves etc - I have so many things going on in my spine right now I think even a doctor would be hard pressed to narrow it down to one thing or another...

Today is another bad day for me, movement very restricted - taking me almost half a day to get reasonably mobile. For the first time I am feeling a bit scared of what the future may bring as things are escalating so quickly now. Support from KickAs is pivotal to my coping at the moment since I know that so many are so much worse off than I yet manage to be cheerful and positive - I will try to be the same.
Have a terrific weekend
Di
