You have got to be kidding me.....my knee pain continued so I call Rheumotologist and she wanted me to come in... She said she didn't need an MRI to be able to tell I have Osteoarthritis in my knees. They crack and pop and grind with simple bending. She said it was bone on bone and it was a degenerate disease just like when I had to have the disc removed from my back...she gave me options. Rest and continue taking all meds plus fish oil and glucosamine Chondroitin which I stopped and bought at Walgreens and when I got home I only had the fish oil.
Other options include injections in knees or knee braces or it could lead to surgery. All of which I am not going to do and why I am sitting at home with Fish oil.........
She suggested water aerobics and weight loss and right now I am just feeling really frustrated....
Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis ......I am 58 years old and can't imagine what it will be like in 10 years....
I guess I'll just have a pity party.........
