Guest guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks so much to all those (Smitty, Joyce, Liz, , , Mara and MB) who have offered advice on how to nip my knee pain in the bud! While I am accustomed to dealing with the overall pain of fibromyalgia, the pain in my right knee concerns me, as I have to go up and down four steep flights of stairs each time I leave the house. It's getting harder all the time. Now that I think about it, I realize that I am also experiencing increasing weakness. Several times, that knee has suddenly gone out from under me while on the stairs. Scary stuff. Dealing with fibromyalgia has resulted in reduced exercise, so my challenge is two-fold. I have to treat the pain, while strengthening my muscles and connective tissue. NY Public Library has the book, Pain Free by Pete Egoscue, and I have put a reserve on it. It's important to me to increase my strength carefully. I don't want to cause any new damage while trying to treat the damage I already have. In the meantime, I will be researching the various supplements which have been suggested. I'm familiar with boswellia and turmeric, but I have yet to try hyaluronic acid or MSM. This list is remarkable: so much knowledge, and so many great people willing to share it. Thanks so much! Hugs, Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
