Krissy - I'm right there with you. I am to the point that I just can't stand it anymore. I am going to the doctor Thursday morning - I'm afraid of what they might tell me. I have also tried everything you have. Well you know it's just fine to be "part of the aging process" but your doctor certainly should have given you some way to get relief. It does exist! I'll let you know what my doc has to say. Hang in there

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? ~Krissy~ We are all in this together, by ourselves. - Lily Tomlin ~I'm In pretty Good Shape For the Shape I am in~ --- On Sat, 6/14/08, L T CHERPESKI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: L T CHERPESKI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [TMIC] knee pain To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "TM List" <[email protected]>, "TMA-New-England" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, June 14, 2008, 1:54 AM 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??

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... ~Krissy~ We are all in this together, by ourselves. - Lily Tomlin ~I'm In pretty Good Shape For the Shape I am in~
