Trying to put a positive spin on a painful Tuesday

Okay, so I'm sleeping away this morning when around 2 am, my knees feel like

they are being ripped from my body! I feel around for my pain med, pop one and

wait. After 45 minutes, I opted to get out of bed as my moaning was keeping my

DH awake (although he has probably laid in there awake ever since), came out to

the living room and got the heating pad on my knees. That helped somewhat and I

have been able to hobble walk for lack of a better word to the computer room so

I could at least post and/or answer emails.I don't want to cry because I keep

thinking " this too shall pass " and yet, at the same time, feel like cutting my

knees off! Since being diagnosed, I've had a few of these episodes with the pain

always being in my knees. I know that as a teen, I did a lot of " damage " to them

with various sports activities (practiced falls for flag corps, that kind of

thing) and am wondering if anyone else has noticed when they have an area of

pain flare up that that is an area where they suffered some sort of

injury/trauma? I recall that my knees were so bad one time, they were going to

drain the fluid from them. Right now, they feel horribly inflamed, and yet I

cannot think of anything I did in the past several days that would have brought

this on!So I guess my silver lining is I'll have all my emails caught up by the

time the family gets up and will be able to get the running I " have " to get done

finished up early! After that, it's baby the knees time......Darlene

,

As the saying goes " this too shall pass " ......

I managed to get a 3 hr nap mid-morning and have been using my

heating pad, which is providing me with the most relief. Haven't had

to hit any other breakthru pain meds today and truly think the reason

they hurt so much is I am swollen....
