Do they do orthopedic consults there? Hard to say as don't know exactly what is wrong. What do you take for pain anything. The cymbalta does help some with pain. I'm sorry manic. Love Phillipa

I imagine that among other things you have arthritis in your knees.
That's easily treated with the usual alternative things.....
glucosamine
fish oil
boswellia
curcumin
any natural anti-inflammatoriesI've had osteoarthritis for years and it can be managed.
Then there's the other problems in your knees, whatever they are.

Nobody's going to say something as schadenfreuden as amputation, that's a bit medieval and going to extremes, don't you think? Doomed?
Lots of people have had success with physical therapy, which is important -- it takes time, I know its painful.Stretches are important.
Have you tried different brands of braces -- maybe you don't have one that is strong enough or fits right ? I'm just free thinking here.
For the longest time until it started to heal more recently, I think, I had knee caps that would come out when I kneeled because I went *ss over teakettle on my bicycle at 13 and slammed into a parking sign and damaged my knees.I'm trying to gather this -- you have titanium plates or the like in your knee zone ?
I guess I can't suggest it but penetrative creams do work for some people, if you have had no luck with methyl salicylate then the capsicum ones do work better for some, you just have to wait longer.
"the door slammed behind me" ? I didn't quite get that.
Have you tried Robaxin, Skelaxin, or Norflex ? I wouldn't recommend Ultram for people on psychotropics, it reacts with practically everything reducing the seizure threshold greatly.
