Re: Painful knees again-fibro related pain?

Don't let the Dr. blow you off and attribute everything to fibro, demand new

MRI's of your knees, with an arthrogram if necessary. You said once the

menisus was torn in both knees, the tears may have progressed. The only

treatment is live with it or have arthroscopic surgery to repair them. If

your O rtho in not responsive seek a second opinion. I hope this helps but

just don't buy the fibro story without further study and documentation!

Please.
