My brother had both his knees replaced years ago - it means he can't kneel - but he's never prayed anyway.
One leg is mainly metal - the result of being T-boned twice riding motorbikes (which he still does).
He has a bit of occasional pain now (15 odd years after the event), but it's believed to be due to his lugging the shopping on and off the community bus he drives. :-S

thanks everyone for the sympathy!!! neighbours lent me a TENS machine but still truing to work it out!! Now then, a highly blinged crutch!!! :-D :-D

Sorry to read you are suffering pain AnnC. I found a TENS machine really helpful when I had pulled ligaments in both knees. Acupuncture also worked to ease the
pain too. Both non invasive and no strong tablets to cause nasty side effects either.

Sorry no parrot :-(

Hope you get something sorted soon

Me and him <3 <3

Belle, the problem is with Ann's knee, not her bottom. ;-) :-D

Sorry Ann, couldn't resist it. :-D

I do hope they can get to the bottom of your problem and offer suitable treatment for you asap <3

Ann hope you get treatment soon <3

I've heard those Trams are not without side effects, and they're addictive :-0

Sorry to hear about your knee, Ann

I hope they can do something to sort it out quickly <3

thanks everyone <3

no more Tramadol for me - felt so ill last night, just like when I was taking the top strength Cocodomal!!!

Thanks, <3. This is my second one too I had mine done over 2 years ago and never looked back until this one started that is ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Hope you get sorted pronto Ann <3 <3

I have RA and had a total knee replacement last October. It is wonderful and i am having the other one done later this year. Can't wait.

Hope you get sorted Ann.

Phyll

LG best wishes :-)

Perhaps we can do a three legged race Ann as I am waiting for a Total Knee Replacement anytime now ;-) :-D :-D :-D.
Seriously I do hope the pain is relieved soon for you as I know it can be very wearing <3

Hope you soon get it sorted Ann .Take care Barbra <3 :-)

Sounds real painful Ann :-0 hope your ganglion heals <3

A case of Ma Knee is the root of all evil? :-D :-D :-D

Hope you soon get it sorted Ann.
We are survivors though and I also think a cortisone injection is a good idea!

Ouch,!!

doctor wont give you a corticosteroid injection in your knee if you have a damaged cartlidge ........it can cause more harm to the cartlidge as the steroid can break it down if over used .,,,,,,,then you will end up with bone on bone.

Well I know who has a wonderful decorated crutch...they may offer a loan of it if you ask nicely. :-D :-D.

rest it.
