Prayers for healing. Maybe the Doctor will recommend knee sleeves.

Dont be afraid, trust in God to help you and let the doctors help you.

Re: Jesus Please Help

If you do go to a doctor you might see if they think taking Meloxicam might help. it is an anti-inflamatory that might help with the knees. It is prescribed for arthritis, tendonititis, etc . I t is not near as hard on your stomach as taking ibufroen. It is not recommended to take ibufrofen daily, only occasionally.

Thanks. Headed for lab work at 8am and then an orthopedist at 1030.

Re: Jesus Please Help

Got the Meloxicam...its not touching it. Getting MRI scheduled. The xrays showed no bone damage but the MRI is going to tell the tale. Headed to get my pay. Because of having the status as a independent contractor for FedEx I dont have any benefits like workers comp etc. From the location of the pain and the symptoms my money is on bilateral torn meniscus. To what degree and whether it will require surgery I don't know.

I hope they get it figured out. Regarding the meloxicam it is more of an anti inflamnatory medicine than a pain killer so over a few days it might help if the issue has to do with inflamation. It helps my arthritis and calcified shoulder tendon when they act up.
