$300, 2 Dr. appointments and 1 MRI later, I have arthritis in my knee. I laughed when the Doctor gave me his diagnosis and said, "Now I'm officially old." Great!
I hope the physical therapy will work. Today I was feeling fairly fine until I stood up for over an hour to prepare my husband's annual birthday dinner (lasagna). I had to ice it and elevate afterwards. Ugh! Will I ever be able to do normal things again? I keep thinking that this can't be the end of mobility as I know it.
I have fairly high levels of pain tolerance. This hurts! It throbs! I can't put weight on it at all. Kind of frustrating. I want to ignore the pain and live a normal life. The pain refuses to be ignored and reminds me constantly of my mortality.
