Help to alleviate knee pain in both knees PLEASE?
Hi, I’m Pam and live in North East England. Stupidly I bought a bungalow - thinking would make my life easier and changed GP practices who immediately withdrew all pain meds I’d been on for many years - having had 11 failed spinal surgeries. Have nothing more than paracetamol now 😳
Anyway the knees started playing up, the right in particular altho on x Ray my left is the worst. I was initially asked if I wanted knee replacement surgery but having had so many ops on my back I said I’d prefer it if they could be “managed”.
Two years past December I had a cortisone injection which DID give me three months pain free, it was magical to be honest, like flipping a switch. However BOTH are now giving me lots of pain, especially when I attempt to stand up - don’t like being bent to that degree. The right is also objecting putting weight thru it at times and if i favour it creates more pain in my lower back - catch 22.
Ive tried herbal pain patches when the right knee wasn’t so bad and did have some relief but not now and this new GP practice are a waste of space sadly.
I am willing to try anything to alleviate the pain in these two painful knees because these on top of my severe back pain and nerve pain/numbness in my legs and feet have just about pushed me over the edge.
Im at the stage where I just want to go to sleep and not wake up again. Melodramatic it may sound but in reality it is far from it.
Any help is better than none.
Cheers
Pam
