Re: [TMIC] knee pain!

[Krissy Z]

I so need SOME relief. I have tried the pain patches, topical ointments, a knee 
brace...sometimes it helps, others it doesnt.
 I just found out from my dr, that the xray says I have a case of 
arthritis in my knee. (can they tell that from xray?)  Course they didnt 
tell me what to do, or what they plan on doing, or what next (and i go away to 
fla in 3 weeks) 
I am now drinking apple cider vinegar/honey/water mixture and taking some move 
free.
I know that because of my TM, I can develop arthritis (tho doc said it was 
"part of the aging process")....wonder if I should call my neurologist?

Hi Krissy - your timing couldn't be any better.  I have been 
absolutely suffering for the last 2 weeks + with pain in my knee - 
left side, which also happens to be my most affected by TM.  I've been 
using Icy Hot, which does help a tiny bit, but I literally have not been able 
to 
put any pressure on my left leg at all.  And I'm so sick of going to 
doctors that I haven't even called for an appt.  I just keep hoping it 
will 
go away.  I will be very interested in hearing what your xray shows.  
I have also tried taking ibuprofen and it hasn't helped. I'm not liking this 
very much since it was already a challenge to walk!!
 
I'll ask too - has anybody else had to deal with this and any ideas on 
pain relief??
 
Thanks to all
Linda

       I went to the dr today 
        because my right knee has been bothering me, when I sit for a bit or 
        wake up from sleep its getting harder and harder to walk. Its not the 
        knee cap but to the side a bit . (inner) She took an xray, but havent 
        heard back anything yet, and she said i'll have an mri if nothing on 
        xray. She told me to take ibuprofen on a reg basis (up to 800 mg)  
        but it still hurts painfully to get up and walk  until I walk it 
        out a bit. I have applied heat but it doesnt seem to last long. It's on 
        my right leg too, which is the one most affected by the 
        TM.

 Any ideas what I could do to alleviate some of the 
        pain? 
Has anyone developed anything like this after getting tm? I 
        never had any pain of any sort with this tm...
