Hi All,
Just an update on my knee , been to A and E again today had look at my knee, my X-ray has shown degenerative changes in my left knee (supposedly )
The dr has said I need to get an MRI scan to see if I have any cartilage damage when my knee gave way last week.
I’ve got an appt on Friday to see my dr to discuss my X-ray report .
I’m still in lot pain and it is difficult walking up downstairs ,the back of my good knee is throbbing.
I’ve spent last 5 nights on sofa bed ,but I’ve decided I need to start sleeping up stairs to try get better nights sleep.
My knees feel like Tin man out of wizard oz ,feel like they need oiling lol .
I’m still off work at moment until I get advice from my GP.
I dread to think how long the wait is for an MRI ?
It’s going to be another long drawn out process to see what is wrong 😩
I feel like it’s de ja vue all over again, as this was how my right knee started 16 months ago.
MRI scan then arthroscopy weeks off work .
I’ve had pip form come through I’ve filled it in don’t know if I’ll get anywhere with it, worth a try
I’m trying to up my activity levels ,as sitting down on sofa all day is not doing me any good I know.
Hopefully the GP can help on Friday advise further .
I will keep you updated , everything is hard work at moment feel like 3 steps forward 2 back 😩

I'm sorry things are still so rough for you and I hope Friday's appointment will help. May I suggest you post any further updates on the Living With Arthritis forum as more people look on there? Good luckIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
