Here a doctor, there a doctor!!! Had to go to my GP and have the blood pressure checked. It's running just a little high. So here I go to the pharmancy to get another medication. It's very weak and it's the amount that's given to kids. I hate getting older as it seems that my body wants to fall apart.
We started to talk about my OA, it's giving me alot of trouble, and I asked about Celebrax. We discussed the pros and cons of it and she told me to ask my rhummy. So I will when I see him next week. I'm willing to try it to see if I can get some of this OA pain under control. I want to be able to sit, stand, and walk somewhat normal. I miss my walks to clear my head and to think. Plus it would be nice to be able to do some window shopping with out wondering if I'm going to be able to make it back to the car.
MarisaMarisa have you ever taken Synvisc?
Synvisc worked so well for my knees. Maybe that's what they need again. Unfortunately, the knee that is acting up is on the same leg as my bad hip. So, double ouch!!
But crunchy is right. Ask the doc about Synvisc shots. My surgeon wouldn't give them to me. I don't why. But my RD did. It adds a wonderful cushion. Not everybody responds to them, but if you do it really relieves the pain.
Understand about the walks. Those are hard for me.
Crunchy, I'm going to ask my RD about Synvisc. The knee is still giving me trouble and now I'm getting muscle spams in my feet again. Had a hard time sleeping last night and I had to cancel my physical therapy appt. for today.
