Hi all! I finally got some tests done (June 4) on my right knee to discover moderate arthritis aggravating my knee and making life difficult. It actually started with soreness and swelling in the back of my knee that my family doctor thought was a
Baker's cyst. The MRI and x-rays did not show a cyst....just a little bit of fluid. I met with an orthopedic doctor (June 7) who took a lot of time with me and diagnosed me and gave me a cortisone shot in the knee. I've never had one of those miracle shots before and WOW, it has provided such relief!
Today, I had my first physical therapy session to learn how to build some core strength and begin on the road to recovery. I have sessions twice a week. It was so difficult to try to walk and exercise through all the pain throughout my body. The cortisone shot not only helped my knee, but a lot of other joints, aches & pains.
Once I fulfill my sessions, I will be able to utilize the facility for FREE for a month! I like that :)
This weekend is actually the first time I have felt better and felt like "me" in almost 2 years.
A-MAZ-ING!!!!
