here's the weird thing Keim, I am a doctor. Not an orthopedist, an

emergency medicine doc whose life changed 4 yrs ago after being

newly remarried, I was nearly fatally injured during a hiking

accident. I appreciate your input.

I hope all is well.

You sound very normal to me....Everyone recovers at a differnet pace and at 2 weeks you are still going to hurt...Take your pain meds and do your exercises...When I sit too long, my knees get very stiff and painful, even now , 4 months out...so try not to sit too long.... I did feel a rubbing at times, but that has gotten better too... I did wake up at night hurting ....it was a long time before I slept thru the night, but that will get better ....Take a sleeping pill if you have any or ask your doctor for a Rx.....

Try to be patient, it takes a long time to heal......it will get better!

I also feel a movement in my knee, I do not know if this is normal or not. Has anyone else felt like a movement or rubbing when they move their knee from side to side or straighten it out..? I understand it hasn't been two weeks yet but I know some people that were off pain pills almost as soon as they left the hospital. I take my pain pills 3 times a day and sometimes wake up at night hurting. JJ

Thanks Marguerite, I guess I may be rushing it. We would all like

to say " POOF " and everything be better. I know so little about this

and I am sure I ask to many questions. I go Wednesday to see my Dr.

and he should be able to tell how I am doing. JJ

Hi Carolyn,

No, I don't believe I've ever been tested for rheumatoid arthritis, but I guess

that's something I need to bring up when I can find a dr. Hopefully I can start

looking again after Monday's holiday, it's been hard to get in to even see my

regular drs.! Thanks for the idea.

Sincerely,

Jeannie

knee pain

Considering the fact that weight loss did NOT help, and with the other symptoms

you described, it just sounds to me more like a rheumetoid kind of thing. Have

you been tested for rheumetoid arthritis? I apologize if you have already

answered that question, I may have missed it.

Welynda,

I totally can relate to that and the pain. Vent away anytime and hang in

there.

To Welynda,

This would be a good time to have both your knees evaluated by an

orthopaedic surgeon. Do not waste your time on a GP or RD. They will

either get xrays or xrays and an MRI. Once they get the results they still

will not know how to treat you. If you live in the U.S.. and do not have

an ortho doctor you trust go to www.AAHKS.org and use the physician

locater to find one near you.

Remember you are not obligated to have surgery if you see a surgeon.

All good treatment surgical or non-surgical begins with a correct

diagnosis.

I apologize for not posting lately. So much has happened. After 30 non-

stop years of work, I retired on Dec. 19th secondary to my ongoing

Stills. A week ago I had my right (dominant arm) shoulder re-constructed

secondary to a paralyzed muscle another Stills problem.

As you can probably guess my typing is really slow. The surgeon says

my final result will give back some of my previous function but it will

take at least a year for a near final result.

In March I will start school to earn a masters degree in adult education.

I really hope by then I can type faster.

Try to have a pain-free day everyone,

Hary S.

Hi. I haven't posted in a long time, but I try to read most of the posts. I've

been really depressed because I am in pain constantly. Even my pain pills just

barely touch the pain. When I'm sitting, I'm o.k., but when I stand I can barely

walk. Trying to go up or down a step is like approaching Mt. Everest. Most of

the pain is in my knees. I can't clean my house; I don't want to do anything but

sit in a chair, because it hurts too much. Sometimes I don't even want to fix

myself something to eat because it hurts so much. And this pain depresses me

sooooooooo much. Mostly because I can't do anything. Oh, well - - I'm just

ventings. Thanks for listening.d Welynda

Hi, Love your name...it is my daughter's name, only we spell it Reigna

knee pain

Hi

I've been to see my OS today and have been told that I will need a TKR in the

future but as I'm only 52 they try to postpone it as long as possible.

I have a creaky, generally painful and slow to get moving knee, which i can live

with for a few more years, but I also have a small painful area on the inside of

my knee that hurts like a bad toothache when I sit in the wrong position. I

asked if this could be my extra bone growth pushing on a nerve (it feels like

nerve pain to me) but was told no if it was a nerve i would get loss of

sensation in my lower leg. Does anyone recognize this problem and what were you

told?

Thanks

Rayna

Hi yessss to your question from day one of my injury 3 years ago..I had a

microfracture done..it failed...had a partail done it failed..now im 9 months

opost-op total knee revisison and still not working and i have illitibial hip

pain there dealing with..but I had the same pain and these are the things that i

went thru plus i went to pain management for thast pain which they thought was

nerve pain..i had 3 nerve blocks it calmed it down alot..Nerve pain is not only

loss of feeling because that wasnt it .it was the sharp pain and the burning

feeling and redness on the inside of my calf down to the top of my foot..The

weather made it worse, the sun, hot baths , just about any

thing i did..The more knee pain the more nerve pain..Make sure they determine

what it is knee pain, or nerve pain..In my case it felt the same..and still

suffering even after all the surgeries and now they dont know what to do....I

have the best dr's in boston and still havent been able to get me out of pain

waiting for another bone scan...wish me luck..Ohhh and what helps the nerve pain

I use lidocaine patches 3 at a time but only stays on 12 on 12 off, also

amtriptyne helps the nerve pain and helps you sleep....Good luck and you have to

be your own advocate ask lots of questions....hugs kim
