  Not when you have no cartiledge and you are walking on "bone on bone", ice doesn't help it actually makes it worse! I wish it was that easy

  Grendawn - I'm drinking plenty of fluids, just making sure I don't get dehydrated. Back to the Dr. on Monday!

  I feel your pain.

  Literally.

  Osteo in my knees is what put me in a chair.

  It hurts a lot less that it DID, but always went light on NSAIDS for the same reasons they are giving and have given you and Gopher so much grief.

  I mostly just muscle through the pain which works during the day when I can distract myself readily, but at night, it can be a little tough.

  I know what you mean about icepacks! YIKES!

  And I live in the frozen north!

  Just hang in there, and tell hubby to make YOU a sammitch!

  I wish I could take away your pain...

  Is there anything you can take that can partially rebuild the cartilage?

  I do not know if in your case, it will help, or if you have already tried this route...just googling this subject uncovers a variety of treatments...whether they would be helpful to you or not, you can decide ...

  I hope that you can ease the acid reflux so that you can eat and have wine!

  I'm sorry you feel so bad - knee pain AND acid reflux AND starving! I hope you feel better soon - wish I could do something for you. I have had knee problems, couldn't have operation because I take coumadin among other reasons. I used glucosamine and it really helped, took about six months, but my knee is lots better. I don't know that it would help you, but I offer my experience just in case.

  Sorry to hear you're ill. I have nothing to offer but sympathy.

  Best wishes for a speedy recovery,
