My knee has hurt me for over a month. I did not get in to see the Dr. till last Monday. We chose the pill route for the first attempt at treatment. Wrong choice! Should have had the shot, maybe I would be walking today... maybe not! Was coming up my stairs Monday morning (yesterday) and it gave out on me. I went down with it. Could not get up. It would not support me and I had excruciating pain all through my knee. I crawled up the stairs and found dad's walker in the LR. Don't laugh.... it was a Godsend! I used it all day long. Went to the Dr. he gave me a cortisone shot and we thought all would be great again! Not! He sent me to the Orthopaedic surgeon. They did x-rays. Then scheduled me for an MRI at 2:00 p.m. I have to go back Wednesday at 2:45 for the results. I am on crutches now. Much better than a walker, cause walkers don't do stairs. I don't have to crawl up and down the stairs now. I have spent the past two days mostly in bed. I hope that changes soon. I have Christmas shopping to do still! I am ready to be mobile again. But that might be awhile. More later.... after I find out what my options are.
