RE: [TMIC] knee pain!

[Krissy Z]

hmm an idea..I've heard of yes but I am allergic to fish so I'd be too wary. I 
do want to ask them about a shot just to get me thru vacation at least....and I 
am looking into freecycle for crutches too.

I have heard that "shark cartlidge" works for 
joint pain. My husband has used it for his back before. He does not have TM, my 
daughter does, but it did help him tremendously. You can find it at Walmart in 
the supplement section.
Has the Dr tried a cortisone shot to see if you would get 
relief that way?

    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...
