HI,
Thanks for all your replies I really appriciate them. I will get my mom to reply when she comes in from work. If you want to see a photo of my leg then please click on this link:

The photo doesn't show the muscle spasms. I have colour changes too but you can't see them on the photo properly. My leg goes blue,black,yellow and red However you can see the swelling.
Thanks
Alison
