    my mate has had four new knees, really inspires confidence

    I've had scans and X-rays on my knee plus visiting physio therapist

    turns out it was statins causing the trouble

    I was in a similar situation over 20 years ago, just after I retired. I too was taking Statins and suffering most of the side effects mentioned above. I was running a shooting ground at the time and a regular shooter happened to be a Consultant at Southport Hospital. He was watching me clearing up on one occasion and asked me if I was on Statins. He advised me to stop taking them. I now only take Ibruprofen, but only for pain relief and certainly not on a regular basis. I am now nearly 80 and still reasonably fit, apart from usual knee and shoulder pain. In fact I am taking a group of 10, for their first experience of shooting clays, in about 2 hours time. Mind you, just as a precaution,  my shooting buddy is a retired GP   😄

    I had been taking statins for twelve years many different types, terrible leg pain, cramp at night, been for X-rays   got, so I struggled to walk 400 yards been on prescription paracetamol

     told doc they didn't work take them before it hurts that meant living on them different doc said have a month off statins then restart lower dose

    a month without pain had two at lower dose pain again binned them

    the paracetamol is good at raising blood pressure, binned them

    . Now have two raw garlic half an hour before breakfast

    BP is lowest it's been for years blood test OK I can walk for hours and run

    Someone from food industry interviewed on R4 this morning said it was solely down to two things

    1. Weather in Spain and Morroco which he pointed out wasn't Brexit, the EU, or Russia/Ukraine
    2. Cost of fuel for heating growing areas - which was a world price issue (caused mainly by Russia/Ukraine situation) mainly on gas prices and exacerbated by inflexible supermarket contracts not increasing prices to growers to pay for additional fuel costs.

    Like anything - everyone will blame it on their own particular factors - and Sainsbury's certainly won't blame themselves for not paying the extra to cover the extra gas costs.

    I heard about Sainsbury's yesterday on R4, think got to believe what you see
