Comments on: Fuck pain http://blog.xcski.com/2007/05/07/fuck-pain Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

You've been to all the specialists I'll guess? My family Dr was limited in my case but once I got through the specialists (a few orthopedic specialists and finally an orthopedic surgeon) things started to click. I ended up having to go for both a CT and bonescan before they really figured out what was wrong with me. It was a fairly tedious process to finally get to the "solutions" I was offered, all of which seemed rather crappy in the end at my current age. That sucks.

My specialist provided that as one of several options to me last year when my ankle was particularly bad at one point, and its by no means as bad as your knees based on my observations. Although I passed on it at the time due to the negative aspects, I'm keeping it in my back pocket as an option further down the road if my issues get worse, as I suspect they will later in life. In the meantime I'm crossing my fingers that my recent 6 or 8 months problem free continues. Is joint replacement a potential solution or do the problems go beyond that?

I can walk on the flat, OK, but up or down any stairs, or even just bending it to bring me legs out from under the bed covers is agony. Just when I thought it was getting better the shopping trip with Tori made it worse again. I don't like drugs, so I'm not taking any pain killers. I just suffer.

And they're coming up with new stuff all the time. I don’t know if your doctor can do anything, but maybe he can send you to a pain clinic. And they’re coming up with new stuff all the time.
