Guest guest Posted September 15, 2001 Report Share Posted September 15, 2001 Shirley, Sounds like osteoarthritis in your knees. I have it and have had it for almost 10 yrs now. It gets worse sitting for long periods of time but loosens up once you get moving so yes, you should move alot more during the day when you can. Getting up in the morning seems to be the worst of all... Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2001 Report Share Posted September 15, 2001 kathy, sounds like you probably have some arthritis in your joints? when i sit for long periods of time at my desk, when i get up i hurt too. when you sit a while, you just get stiff, and it takes a little movement to loosen things up a bit. or it could be impaired circulation in yourlegs too. i have that as well, but that doesn't cause me pain after sitting tho. if you do have arthritis, taking anti-inflammatory meds can help. but you also need to keep those joints mobile. make a point to get up and walk around every hour or so thru the day. take walks in the early evening at home. if that hurts too much, take a water aerobics class. you get the movement in your joints without the stress of body wt. to cause pain. then there are those glucosamine type supplements that some swear by. anything is worth a shot if it doesn't hurt, it might help. mary y st.louis > Hello everyone. I am three months post op today and have lost 70 lbs. I was wondering.... I have one of those wonderful desk jobs that you sit all day. When I get up from there sometimes my legs hurt. My joints mostly. This goes away after walking for a little bit. I was wondering if anyone might know what is causing this or what it is just beyond me. And no I have not told my doctor yet. > > Kathy > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 I'm pre-op and have the knee pain that Kathy was talking about. It's gotten worse this last year. I, too, have a " sit-down " job. > > I quit walking because I thought that would agrivate my joints. Should I walk more? Anybody know about this? > > ~~ShirleyAnn in Arcata, CA I am no Doctor, but if you have arthritus, moving does loosen up the joints. Also have you tried applying Emu Oil on the effected parts, there was a write up on it in my MS magazine and I tried it. For me it seems to help.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 , Thanks for the info. I don't know my wbc right now - all I know is it is really low. I don't like the fact that I am bruising pretty badly right now. The vitamin D issues have been going on for a long time. We cannot keep it in a normal range. I hope to have my numbers tomorrow. I was actually on methotraxate this time but the white count issue happened with the imuran also. I just don't know where we are going to go next. I will be seeing the neuro at the end of the month and will be talking to my PCP tomorrow. So who knows. Glad you are back! terri g > > From: mosaicgirl1 mosaicgirl1@... > Subject: pain > To: Neurosarcoidosis > Date: Thursday, April 2, 2009, 8:52 AM > > > > > > > > Pain, pain go away - come again some other day.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 , This is a amazing, between the Neurontin and Cymbalta how much do your meds run a month? Also do you take them every single day? And does it get rid of all of the pain or X% of the pain. I was just wondering. Thank is a lot of medication. Are you have any side affects from all of these drugs. OR because of all of the pain you just do not know?Bob To: Neurosarcoidosis Sent: Fri, October 30, 2009 1:28:26 PMSubject: Re: pain I am also on Neuronton. I take 800mg 3 times a day. This really helps with the bee sting pain. I am also taking 60mg a day of Cymbalta for my back pain. There are also a bunch more but my hands are stiff today. I have sarc in the brain & spine only so far. I've had 2 brain surgerys for cvp shunts to be installed. in 'tucky Join our Sock Challenge for Orphans in Kazakhstan http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/Mittens_ for_Akkol/ grannylunatic@ yahoo.com From: MITCHELL <mjcv29a (AT) aol (DOT) com>Subject: painTo: Neurosarcoidosis@ yahoogroups. comDate: Wednesday, October 28, 2009, 8:21 PM I've been on so many pain meds over the years.
