Knee Update

The good news..........the meniscus is not torn..........the bad news.........I have arthritis, and they are going to do a steroid injection...if that gives me relief-good.  If not, they'll scope it and clean up under the knee cap.

I can run, hike do whatever I want....of course he said "let the pain be your guide"....right now, the pain is too much for running...I'm geting the steroid injection tomorrow.....keep your fingers crossed!

All I can say is OUCH Kim.  I've had the steroid shot in both knees and it was not pleasant.  I think the worse place I've ever had it was inbetween my toes.  I cried out in pain.  The knees did bring tears to my eyes but it was manageable.  The shots worked for me and that was a big relief.  Jogging was what got my arthritis flared up.   I still had too much weight on me to try to jog.  I learned my lesson.  I couldn't climb stairs for almost 2 months and I walked like a really old lady.  You could tell I was in pain with every step.  I wish you well and pray that the injection does the trick.

Debbie....I had to reply to your post......You and Leo are looking WONDERFUL.  Have you found the fountain of youth?????
Love you!!!

Kim, that is good news.  Maybe the injection will help.
I joined our gym this week.  I will not start until next week and I am looking forward to it.  It is on the order of CURVES and I hope it will be enough to shake off a few more pounds.  One good benefit of the membership is that they have Zumba classes.  I don't know if I will like that or be able to do it but I have heard snippets about it.  Most say it is fun.  I will let you know how this OLD lady does.

Knee problems are not fun I hope it comes down to the least painful method of dealing with it all!
