Somewhat M.I.A..

There has been a lot going on for me for the last couple of weeks or so now in my life. One thing is that I was in the hospital last week Monday (04/28/2014) with really bad knee pain. I found out that my right knee have "acute knee pain" and "knee pain, uncertain cause". A few days later I had an appointment with my joint replacement doctor and we talked about my joints and what joint will be next. The original plan was to do my left hip, right hip, right knee. Now it's going to be my right hip, right knee, left hip. My doctor wants to do my right hip next then about 6 weeks later my right knee will be done, so my right hip will be done on 07/08/2014 the my right knee will be about 6 weeks later from that. Also from my appointment from my doctor last week he ordered some x-rays on my hips to compare to my hip x-rays from last year and I found out that my right hop has gotten worse which means that my right hip has severe arthritis. I can't wait to get my right hip and right knee done and replaced. That is if everything goes as plan and if my joint replacement for my right hip and knee doesn't get moved to a different date. Not sure when my left hip will be done, only time will tell.

Hello Dear One,

Joint pain isn't easy to deal with. I suffered so badly with knee pain for over a year. I did the bone injections out of desperation and finally decided to try a chiropractor beore going the surgery route. I started doing this thing called, "graston". It is a procedure that goes back to the days of the Romans. Basically it is manually stripping the muscles and then rebuiding them with exercise. It was very painful but it worked.

I know so many now that are in their 50's who have knee and hip replacements. It is becoming the norm for so many. I will be praying for you.

Hugs,

Sharon

Hello dear friend Sharon,

You got that right, I'm very happy that I had WLS when I did. Sorry that you had to suffered with knee pain for over a year. I hope all went well for you when you had the bone injections and chiropractor done. Never heard of "graston". Wow! Really? Sounds like it's painful, glad it worked for you.

I have a hunch about that, I'm just in my 30's, my joints are bad from all that weight that I carried for so many years. Sounds like it's the norm.. Thank you so very much Sharon, it means a lot to me.

Hugs,

Jason.
