Doing fine, still work through all the tasks I have.

oH, Ms B .. wow. That’s quite a diagnosis. I’ve
never heard of that. So the source of your pain
isn’t from damaged or deterioriated cartilege in
the knee joint? Is cartilege not involved at all?
I’m SO confused, but I sure hope what he’s prescribed
will help.

If there’s any hint of lack of use or atrophy, I
would think PT would be a must. Bear with it,
and hang in there.

Sure hope this provides the answer for RELIEF!
You sure have suffered, I know. God send you the
right solution.

God bless and protect our great TROOPS!

[luvie]

Wow! Real action video! Prayers for the injured! Thanks, Connie!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

There is no damage to the cartilage at this point.
What gave them a heads up as to the diagnosis, is that knee and the area above and below hurts to the touch, no matter how light.

I sure hope all this settles down..
It has been/is very painful and tiring.
*HUG*
Thanks for your good wishes!
