Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Well, after a car accident just over a year ago (which I now have a messed up neck, back, and shoulder of which neither one is OK yet - still waiting to see an orthopedist about the shoulder and the neck won't get better until they do something about the shoulder) the doc had me on anti-inflammatory medication for almost a year (prescription) of which has really messed up my gut. Now the doc says no more anti-inflammatory meds for me. Problem is.I'm headed in to fall/winter and my knees are killing me! For various reasons I can't do too much movement (from the car accident and too much knee pain). I don't really know what to do. I have lost almost 12 pounds, but have not seen much if any improvement with the knees. I could still use to lose about 25 pounds (which is what orthos in the past at the local clinic have pointed out pre-11 pound weight loss). I no longer will go to ANY of the ortho docs at the clinic. I do have a treadmill (not always easy to use) and a stationary recumbent bicycle, which I use when I can, but some days I just hurt too much to walk much let alone do anything else. Any suggestions to help with the pain? Joi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
