Knee pain   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #504 of 592 |
I think I have Myoshi dystrophy and have recently started experiencing more knee
joint pain. Interestingly this has come on since I started driving again. I
spent a year without a car (walking fairly short distances daily) and remained
relatively fine, but now I'm walking much less and driving daily and I'm finding
I have quite a bit of knee pain. I do try to be quite active (and possibly
overdo it sometimes) and I worry a bit about the damage I'm doing to my joints
given that they don't have as much muscle to support them anymore. Does anyone
have any suggestions for knee/joint care, supplements/medications maybe? Is this
maybe just an adjustment period? Any suggestions appreciated.
