So.....what did the doctor say?

Janet I am sorry to hear about your knee. There is nothing worse in life than being in pain. My mom had bad arthritis and had hip surguery. Nothing helped that poor lady she was in agony everyday of her life. Her grandmother had it bad to.

I hope the dr. gave you some encouraging news as far as medication and maybe therapy will help. Let us know ok.. Keeping you in my prayers..

I'm so sorry Janet I hope everything works out! I know I'm the young one around here but I know the pain too... I had arthritis in my hip when I was 6 years old. It seemed to just come around overnight, and in the morning I got out of bed, stood up, and started screaming and bawling because I was in too much pain to move. Luckily I grew out of it but I'm not in the clear, because the doctors told me it would likely come back at some point. Joint problems run in my family too. My grandma actually just had a knee replacement last week after a couple years of pain. She's bed-ridden for now but feeling much better for going through with it.
I hope whatever is hurting your knee isn't too serious!

My appt. is at 9:40 this morning. I'll be sure and let you all know what he says. I know I will tell him I just don't want something to cover it up, we need to find out for sure what is causing the pain.

Thanks for the warning Tink, there is no way I would ever let them do that even without the warning. You sure are braver than I am.

Janet sorry your in so much pain, hey did you ever think about a chiropractor?
i use to go to one for my back (but can't afford it right now, my husband is going weekly and he needs it more than me) but anyways, he did wonders for me when i was pregnant. i miss those backrubs now .. My back felt soo good !!

[Janet]

My Dr. told me it is probably the onset of arthritis. He said he could feel just a tad of 'grinding' when he manipulated my knee. He wants to try this medication first. He said there has been some high marks for it and I only have to take it once a day. It is to help with inflamation and lubrication or something like that. Plus, I'm in luck, it's on the $4.00 prescriptions at Wal Mart. I can't remember the name right now, I took the prescription in, but didn't feel like waiting on it. Ricky has to work tonight so I'll just have him pick it up.

My Dr. seemed really excited about this medicine so we'll see I guess.

I hope it helps Janet... some work wonders if you can find just the right one for the right person.

Good Luck!

[DianaB]

Good! I'm glad that he gave you something to help it to feel better. And even better news that it's only going to cost $4 at Walmart!!!

Just checking in to see how it went at the doctor today. Glad you're going to be getting some relief.
