very painful knees
My poor right knee is very painful and very sore. In January Hylagen shots were put in my right knee to hopefully ease the pain. The shots worked for awhile. Well I was pretty sedentary while healing from recent surgery. The arthritis has become active, again... Tomorrow I am picking up films that were taken last year and delivering them to my Orthopedic surgeon. I am hoping that he is not going to say surgery...that there may be something else before that. Please keep this in your prayers tonight. Thanks, Cindy
Unfortunately, arthritis is one thing that is not healed by weight loss. I know where you are, GF. I have arthritis in both knees, and have undergone shots. The shots do help.
I was upset though, and said something to the doc about it getting WORSE since losing weight. He said without the WL I would be in a wheelchair now, and that it is worse because I am more active!
Can't seem to win for losing sometimes ...

Good am Cindy,
My prayers are with you for sure. I know the pain isn't something you want to live with so I pray that it subsides and you can manage until something works.
All best!
