I’ve been resting for 10 days now and the pain is still there. It would usually improve in 10 days, it always has, but not this time. Makes me feel so angry and hopeless. I don’t want to leave the rest of my life in pain and on the sofa.
I finally get to see my doctor on Friday but I have a feeling they won’t help. I don’t even know what’s wrong with my knees. I just know squatting several times makes them painful for weeks.
If I don’t keep them straight they hurt and I wake up with them feeling stiff.
idk why I’m posting, I’m not looking for an answer just support I guess
I don't know if I missed any other posts but you don't say if you have had knee op or your knees are just sore?
Yeah I made lots of posts in the past if you don’t mind checking my history. That’s why I didn’t go into details because I feel like many people here already know me. I’ve not had op, knees are just sore.
Have you had X-rays or scans to confirm a diagnosis? If not that’s the first stop I’d say ask GP to refer you.
Had X-ray and blood test 4 months ago when the pain started. It went away and now it’s back. Idk if I should do X-ray again..
maria all i can add is same boat but luckily pain now eased off but trouble is still very weak in legs its as i have make /think every step and very tiring i have really took knock this time keep thinking 4 walls/ wheelchair no good reading about op not so easy can take time to get wright so that's where i am physio tomos see what they say but i am not bending knees for no man/woman or god so i suppose its a waste of time but i did i would go
Are you suffering from arthritis? Mines get painful when I bend them as well. I still have some dull pain when resting and they feel weak when I’m walking. I just want to be able to work again💔 I feel useless and like a burden to my partner as I’m not making any money. I’m scared to complain tho because it could be / get so much worse. I hope we will both feel better soon..
What was the diagnosis from those?
maria yes arthritis IT IS i suppose i am lucky just turned 70 so work not a problem but if i was/or had to work no chance unless miracle /or the dreaded operation i can not see any other way for you you could put a claim in through pip disability so you could help partner if excepted a bit long winded but you can only try all the best paul
I really hope to go back I’m too young to claim disability benefits 😭 As for now I wouldn’t even be able to as doctor doesn’t think it’s arthritis or something that won’t go away
Nothing was found. Doctor said I might have sprained my ligaments today and referred me to physiotherapist.
