Hi Edd,

Ice works pretty good. Strength training helps too, but sometimes they will

hurt no matter what. It totally sucks. Know this…we all know how your knees

feel and are here for support. Mine hurt 100% of the time and my OS said he

wouldn’t do anything for me. He did refer me to a Rheumatologist and I’m

still waiting for that appointment (two weeks now). Maybe you could ask

about arthritis meds? I can’t believe they won’t at least let you have an

anti-inflammatory med. That might at least help some. Thanks for serving in

a part of the world where there is so many bad things going on. The news is

scary every day and I pray for all the troops over there.

Subject: necomer to the group

hello everyone. my name is edd. i was diagnosed with chondromalacia in

2002, when i was in the marine corps. i went through several anti

inflammatories, physical therapy, stretches. nothing worked. they were

going to put me out of the marine corps but lost my paperwork, so i

put myself back on full duty. miraculously, my knee stopped hurting

shortly after that. 7 months ago, i joined the army and recently got

deployed to iraq. well now the pain is back and the army doctors say

there is nothing they can do for me and no meds i can have, because we

are deployed. hopefully this story will have a happy ending.

edd
