Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 Dear Bill<br><br>I was diagnosed with CP this last year. But on the other hand I have had knee problems all my life. I also have patellar tendonitis, oshgood-schlatters disease, and my knee caps are slanted and off set. I don't know how close my symptoms will be to yours, but here they are: constant swelling,sharp pain in and around the whole knee, (on bad days) the pain shots up and down the legs, constant brusising directly below the knee cap and around the top of the tibia, knees give out and lock up, become heavy and numb, etc, etc. I have other problems with my knees, but as you can see my list goes on and on. I hope that maybe this has help you in some small way. I also have an appointment with my orthop. next week, the 24. i am going to ask him if he can give me a refferal to the mayo clinic in Arizona. I was told that they have a special knee and hip center. Maybe you could try the same. Good luck next week!<br><br>Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Bill and Deanna<br><br>Wow! You guys are saints. The pain must be excruciating. I'm beginning to get sharp pains, but not anything like you describe (yet). I can walk slowly. You are not alone, we're all here " pulling for you " . God bless you. Good luck with the ortho and the Mayo clinic...<br><br>Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
