Hi cuddlym ! Hmmm! Both these disease when mix sure give leg weakness and pain. It is very rude that your boss can't make a little change in his organisation. Any way ! Walking on stairs up and down sure give you unnecessary pain. Keep taking your medicine and calciun supplement. Use walking stick and do work in your own pace cause you can broke your bone easily. So recover soon. Take care. Bye.
