Re: [TMIC] knee pain

[L T CHERPESKI]

Hi all - our continued talk about knee pain.  Well I couldn't take it any 
longer.  Went to the doctor on Thursday, had several x-rays, and then one 
really nice deep shot of cortisone.  Yep, a little pain involved in that shot, 
but I am a new person!!!  No more pain.  And if I have to get these 3 times a 
year to keep the pain away it's well worth it.  I'm just sorry I waited 5 whole 
weeks in pain thinking it would "go away" before going to the doc.

  My knees hurt and one hip.  I think it is the way I lean when I walk and 
strain from sitting to standing position.

           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...
