Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi. I'm ; I also go by Swannie. I've been lurking but decided to actually introduce myself. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago. Some days are better than others. I also have arthritis in both knees for about 10-12 years. I remember as a teenager caring for the elderly and how they would say they could feel a storm coming in their bones; I've become that person (but I'm only 45). Anyway, I just thought I'd say hello and let you all know that I'm reading along. I'm really struggling right now because I sprained my ankle two days after Christmas and just found out from my doctor today that it was actually the worst type of sprain and I'm going to have to wear the walking boot/cast for another 4 weeks. Wearing that thing makes my gait odd and then my hip starts hurting. The thought of the hip pain coming back has me almost in tears. For the last 4 days I went without the boot and my hip finally quit hurting. The thought of adding the extra pain back is overwhelming. It seems that just when I get used to one thing, something changes and it's a readjustment period all over again. I don't like to whine but I wanted to be honest. My 15 year old son says that I'm always saying that I hurt. He's right. It's frustrating to not be able to do all the things he wants me to do with him. OK. Can someone tell me please that I'm not alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
