Honor Taylor spent most of her life on the move, which made it especially hard to accept that, aged 65, problems with her joints threatened a future of painful operations to keep her mobile. However, after one excruciatingly painful night Honor stumbled upon the answer… <\/p>\n
I love\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n helping my husband in the garden and looking after my grandchildren. There\u2019s a wide age range from 15 down to 5, and recently a little one of 18 months. Grand kids keep you very active, and they keep me young, I\u2019m always in the garden playing or kicking a football. I get involved as much as possible.<\/p>\n For our holidays we\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n go to our caravan in Wales. Derek, my husband, goes fishing and I take a stroll to see him or pop into town, I like to look around gardens. <\/p>\n Before I retired I was\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n a school secretary and I was a volunteer special constable. It was quite an active lifestyle. I suspect the osteoarthritis might have come about from all those years walking the beat. When I was a special constable we couldn\u2019t drive cars so there was a lot of walking everyday. I did that for 16 and a half years. I ended up in a rank similar to that of an inspector. I miss it a lot.<\/p>\n My joint pain was in my\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n knees, my left thumb and shoulder in particular. I was diagnosed with arthritis in my knees. My shoulder has come about due to a frozen shoulder many years ago. I couldn\u2019t lift it for a long time and can\u2019t lift it properly now.<\/p>\n I first encountered Flexiseq when\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n we were in Wales and one night I woke up in excruciating pain with my knees. I was crying, the pain was so bad. I went to the chemist in town the next morning. I told him I couldn\u2019t take ibuprofen because I am allergic but could I use ibuprofen gel on my arthritic knees? He told me I couldn\u2019t but he told me they\u2019d just got a new product in, Flexiseq. I went home, put it on my knees and that night only woke up once. It worked that quickly, the effect was that good.<\/p>\n Without Flexiseq…<\/strong><\/p>\n I would have ended up needing an operation on my knees. I haven\u2019t been back to the doctor about my knee since he first diagnosed it years ago. Since starting Flexiseq I haven\u2019t needed any kind of medical treatment on my knees. The sooner it\u2019s on prescription the better because I think it\u2019s going to save a lot of NHS money in knee operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n It\u2019s great because\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n I have kidney issues which means I can\u2019t take a lot of medication. With Flexiseq I know I\u2019m not putting any chemicals into my body that are bad for it.<\/p>\n I tell everyone\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n about it. A woman at the caravan park had a bad knee so I gave her a dollop of Flexiseq and the next day she was pain free. I told her she had to go and buy some, I couldn\u2019t keep giving her mine. I\u2019ve become a Flexiseq dealer [laughs]. We\u2019ve got a 97 year old friend who uses Flexiseq. He\u2019s got terrible knee problems. I took him some and he called me a couple of days later and said, \u2018I don\u2019t think it\u2019s working.\u2019 Then a couple of days later, \u2018That gel, where can I get more, it\u2019s working!\u2019. Derek and I went over to his house and he sat with him while I went out and bought him two more tubes.<\/p>\n These days my husband has\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n noticed a big difference. Before we go on a long journey he\u2019s always the one to make sure I\u2019ve put it on my knees. He keeps an eye on me like that. On the way to Wales last time we switched driving and as I walked around the car he said, \u2018You forgot to put stuff on your knees this morning didn\u2019t you\u2019. He could tell by the way I was walking, just a little stiff really.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Honor Taylor spent most of her life on the move, which made it especially hard to accept that, aged 65, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-user-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
