Think of me please

[Janet]

After many many months of putting up with knee pain, I have decided to have it checked out. I thought once that I started losing some weight, that it might ease up some, but it seems to be getting worse. My two uncles (passed now) on my mother's side had some knee problems and my older brother does too.

I'm finding it hard going up and down the steps in the bus, sitting down or getting up, just so painful. If I'm up walking and working around the house or yard, it seems fine, but if I stop to rest and during the night, I am in such pain. I've tried not to complain about it much here...I complain enough it seems, but if you could all think of me tomorrow morning I would appreciate it.

I will be going to my Dr. at 9:40 AM and see what he has to say. I've tried ibuprofen and it does help some, but I feel it's actually just covering up what is wrong. I hope it's nothing serious and that there is something that can be done. Sometimes it is almost unbearable.
