some times I have excrutiating pain, can barely even walk to the bathroom. but then, like the last 3-4 days, I have little pain. I'm uncomfortable, I'm using the cane, and I'm being very careful, but what a difference to have the pain level so much lower.
I've been taking some natural pain healers, I don't know if that is helping, or if meditation is, or if is just something that comes and goes.
As grateful as I am to be able to move now, even a little, I know that something is wrong, and needs to be dealt with.
I really hear ya when you say it's depressing, and that you are used to being an active person. Amen to both of those! Sometimes my spirits fall very deeply. It is very hard. And most people who have not been thru this do not understand.
It really changes your life. That's what I find. I'm having a hard time remembering that I used be a person who thot nothing of walking an hour if I felt like it.
If you don't mind- bec. I am having to be a medical detective since I still have no absolute diagnosis, what was your diagnosis?
I know you have to have the knee replaced, but do you know exactly what the problem is?
thanks.
