OK so I went to the DR and then to the X-ray and then called the dr and "nurse' said oh nothing on the x-ray, but I insisted on seeing the dr anyway, so I get an appt and get in to see him and lo and behold, he said from the x-rays I have degenerative arthritis AKA Osteoarthritis!! I told him I called and the nurse said nothing to worry about, He told me to ALWAYS speak to him, not the nurse!! Ok so now we know what it is and he changed my pain meds to something that works!! Tramadol is my new best friend!! It relieves the pain and doesn't make me groggy!! OH happy day!! I am continuing with my vitamin regime adding a few joint healthy vits and continuing to lose the weight! Dr sez every lb I lose is 5 lbs of pressure off my knee!! So I have lost 150 lbs of pressure off my knee so far!! Ya for me and I can't wait to lose more! Clothes are looser,everything is getting more comfortable too. Will start doing exercises for the knees to try to help relieve even more pain! A good nights sleep is wonderful and the wondering of what's wrong with me is gone(read this as NO CANCER)
Gettin old is tough but it's better than the alternative!!
