Hi, My name is Larisa and I am new to this group, and have never posted a topic on anything before in my life... so please forgive me if I am in the wrong area...
Hi Larisa, I have had 7 surgeries behind Chondromalacia. I have spent the last 6 years in constant pain. My pain management Dr stated he would not give me...
I was in a very quandry as to how to respond to Larisa's post. I can certainly relate to her experience with pain, and the reaction and disbelief of doctors...
Mike, I have used the compression stockings too. I just found some inexpensive ones at Wal-Mart, but I can tell you they make a huge difference. I have no...
You don't know how good that makes me feel, that someone else was actually helped by compression socks! I keep recommending people to try them, but I hate to...
Dear Larisa, i saw your post and thought i should comment on your current medication dilemma with your GP. If you have an hour or two you should read through a...
I have heard it too often. If you don't think you have a problem with opiates, that is when you REALLY have a problem. Mike MT ... From: aussie7007 To:...
I think Tramadol was touted as being non-addictive at first. Maybe somebody can correct me if I'm wrong. I work with Dachshunds with back problems and it...
Mark (and everybody): Thanks so much for your honest descriptions of the real problems you all had with these "non-addictive" pain meds. This Group really can...
Now, I realize that real runners are going to pooh-pooh this, but those of us who've been crippled for several years can use it. I just discovered an exercise...
Hello-new to the group and never done this before! As someone who has lived with a CP diagnosis for almost 40 yrs., wondering if anyone has experienced the...
I am bone on bone grinding away, but have never heard of anyone with bumping bones. Just wanted to wish you the best, and ask you to let us know what your new...
New doc says Grade 4 Chondromalacia this year; bye-bye patella cartilage. MRI's scheduled next week (finally!). Knees are still showing some joint spacing...
I have been having the same symptoms for a long time now but only in my left knee. They won't do an MRI, just the x-rays, which don't show anything and shows...
Just testing to see if my emails can get through to Yahoo yet. Joi Gizmo & Yoda, Papillons: "The Girls" Max, Blue Front Amazon Jazzy, Crimson-bellied conure ...
... "Bumping bones" is probably an indication that the patella and femoral trochlea (femoral groove) have lost all surface cartilage and are not gliding but...
Interesting (Meg here, changed my email address). My knee actually had no femoral or trochlear damage. I had a very small spot on the tibial plateau that was...
Hi David (and all), I'm so flattered that anyone would review my photos! Your web site is chock full of useful information... I only wish I'd found it years...
Yes, but mine is slightly different. It feels (to me) like my patella is hitting the outside of my lower leg bone(s) when I walk and/or straighten my leg. This...
Hello, I am new to the group and have been reading the posts. I have a question that I was hoping to get some of your valuable insight. I began having...
I agree it is frustrating when people casually suggest losing weight as a solution (my trainer/doctors told me the same thing). I know this isn't a weight-loss...
Ellen, Well I am not going to tell you my story to discourage you but to inform you that you need to research all you can. I had arthroscopic knee surgery on...
Hi and welcome Ellen! I've had problems walking without pain for a long time now. I've had the arthroscopic surgeries (multiple on both knees) and have had the...
Yea...I've been trying to do a similar diet. I can't eat soy at all (gives me migraines). I snack on nuts...love them! I haven't been real hungry lately but...
... To Dr. David: Nice job on the long distance diagnosis! MRI's and follow-up show no articular cartilage on the patella and the lateral femoral chonryl; both...
I have had chronic knee pain in both knees for eight years now that is partially disabling. The only diagnosis I have received is chondromalacia. I do several...
I have never met anyone with a undiagnosed knee condition as bad as mine off the Internet. So I am wondering if there is something different about us, that...
