Re: Re: Knee Pain? - To everyone

January 12, 2004

Hi Lucy,

Yes to that one............. I have had some doozies of times with the

sudden onset of pain in my knee....... the worst was the right one - I had

the left resurfaced....... that one struck somewhat as you appear to be

describing........sudden and very painful like someone had a sharp

instrument poking into the area just below the knee joint....... It did go

away within 24-36 hrs........ and I figured it was to do with extra stress

learning of new walking patterns that something around the joint had taken

offense too........ I don't remember having done anything extra each time so

to speak. (I seem to remember about 2 events) I mostly swim for exercise

which is supposed to be less of a hassle for joints...........

The left one was sorest within about 3 months of the resurface - the right

one's 'events' would have been around the 12 month time......... Both knees

now seem a lot stronger - I have figured that the swimming is finally

helping with some of these preexisting hassles........ both knee xrays show

a bit of a mess cartledge wise........... but mine seemed outside the knee -

you didn't say just where yours appeared to be coming from???

Hope that helps.........
