My knee is killing me! Is this common?

January 28, 2004

I wonder if the achy joints thing is more common than I've heard of-

My left knee has been hurting for about two weeks now. Sometimes

when I get up from my desk at work and walk it hurts so bad I almost

buckle from the pain. I was diagnosed with the beginnings of

arthritis in my RIGHT knee pre-WLS, but since the surgery, have not

felt a peep of pain from that one. I'm still working out at the gym

and bowling, hoping the activity will keep it flexible. I've tried

ice, a knee support and Tylenol, with none of them really helping. I

haven't gained any weight since being PG (I'm 32 weeks), so I know

it's not related to that. Anyone else have any pain like this? Or

am I just getting old?? LOL
