Hello everyone,

Good news -i managed to get through a long week.

Bad news - Im paying for it now badly. I know this may sound weird but ive been getting a lot of pain at the back of my knee and side of, is this RA symptoms? All the normal over done it pains are back.

Oh i forgot to say i brought a heat pad called "magic heat" at the good food show and its amazing for my feet!

    Hi sorry your suffering.
    I can sympathize with the knee pain.
    I get pain in the back & side of my knees & its a new kind of pain to me too.
    Have OA & this feels very uncomfortable too,like the back of my knee is so tight & that makes walking on more painful & difficult.
    Ive always got the pain in the side of my knees & the front inside the kneecap.
    But ive also got Fibromyalgia so i thought the tightening at the back of my knee could have been caused by that.The ligaments or tendons tightening.
    so i really dont know the answer for you.
    Hope you can get an answer to you problem.
    luv debs

    Hi Madness,

    I'm sorry your are getting so much pain just now (you as well Debs) I really hope it will calm down for you soon.

    I also got so much I feel like screaming but I know I have really over done things the last few weeks and for mine is 100% payback. Your sound like it might be but if it doesn't settle soon maybe you should get it looked. Its probably better to really. I'm a old hat at payback so I don't get mine seen but you have to know it is 'just' payback to be so blase about it I guess? Hope it soon goes though Luv and a ((( ))) Cris x

    Hey Debs,

    Thank you for the reply. That sounds like wat i have, the tightening feeling. A few times my knees have given way on me unfortunatly and ive nrly gone over (i would have if my heart wouldnt have been holding me). I hope its not a different type of arthur RA is painful enought!

    i have RA and me knee's get very painful, my left one especially but i think thats something to do with the weakness in my right hip.
    i find that at night i wake up alot needing to move my legs as knee's seem to stiffen up, this often brings tears to my eyes as it is so painful.
    i had a steroid injection in my left knee 2 weeks ago and it's been bliss not having any pain, not sure how long it will last but it really has been lovely!.
    i find heat pads are very helpful, i need to get some new ones soon.
