Thanks!

At first it was only my left knee, then after a couple of weeks that knee felt better and now a couple of months later my right knee is even more painful. Same symptoms. sweeling, fluid in knee i think. So I’m assuming if I have arthritis it’s in both knees. Tomorrow I will call and schedule an appointment for x-rays probably. Anyone have arthritis in the knee? what’s it like for you? what type do you have?

I know people who take diazepam for anxiety take like 40 mg a day so I know my pain didn’t go away because I was calmed down. So I was wondering because diazepam is a muscle relaxant did that have anything to do with it?

My mum have one finger which is moving towards her little finger (ulnar deviation) and it is swollena nd painful. Any ideas?

Natural Remedies would be good, because it’s probably not bad enough to get prescribed drugs. xx

I understand that it’s a difficult disease to treat and all, so I’m trying to be patient. But I’m in constant pain and can’t walk without a cane.

My grandpa’s doctor prescribed me a handicap sign so I could get to class before my first appointment with my Rheumatologist. It expired a couple weeks ago.

I not only go to school, but I also work full time and am dad full time. I told my doctor that I can barely walk, I have to take 3 baths a day just to ease the pain and keep my daughter from seeing my cry, and simply can’t be the happy person I used to be.

I’m not wining about it. Shit happens, and I’m not the only one with ra in his knee. But my rheumatologist wouldn’t renew my handicap sign, and will not give me more than 3, 5mg vicodin a day. I understand that this disease is tricky to treat, but the pain shouldn’t have to be.

My question is, is this normal? My knee is bigger than a grapefruit and I am not exaggerating when I say I can barely walk. Is it normal for him to withdraw writing a handicap sign for me and giving me so few pain pills? I’m considering a new doctor, but obviously won’t do so if that’s just how it is. It just seems to me I shouldn’t have to wait 7 hours in misery for 1 hour of relief due to a lifelong disease. Please tell me your thoughts, anyone. I just want to be able to function again….walking faster than my 2 year old would be a definite plus too!
