Gayle, no matter how bad your knees are, they won't replace them until you to old to care about walking! lol! i have been trying to get my knee replaced for 2 years. i am not old enough! (52) what the heck.
i am 5'7" and 205.
they finally did an ultrasound, after going to the ER,in so much pain..in the middle of the night..they found i had a baker cyst...never heard of it before! it was the size of a small lemon. they drained it in a hospital surgery setting, i was wake though. And the next day..the pain was gone..he said it may come back..but for right now..i am pain free.
i need to change my lifestyle to..i am not mobile enough. Fibromyalgia is a bugger..hurt all the time, i need to move around, but to get the energy to move ..well, you know.
the only "diet" i was able to loose on was "susan powter" remember her..with the crazy short hair?!
