Sudden Knee Pain

[forrealone]

Thanks, you two. I didn't get email notifications that you two replied.

forrealone - I'd try your idea (we have lots of oils in the jaybreak house), but my jaw doesn't hurt any more. There's lots of moving pain involved with whatever I have (see more info below).

Ed - Offhand, my physical therapist suggested the same two things She said she uses the nasal flushes and those always work for her, but warned that some folks don't take to it.

Anyways, I saw my doc on Friday. The assistant saw me first, and she couldn't determine what was really going on. The head doc then saw me, and ruled out a few things, but he said it was a mystery, too, but had some ideas. He gave me an order for tests (he specifically stated they are pretty thorough), which I had done Saturday morning. I see him the 30th for a followup for that.

I have a hunch it's Lyme disease. It explains all the symptoms I've been having for the past few months. It also explains a weird rash I got on my hip before all this nonsense started with my knee. It wasn't a typical "target" rash that is associated with that kind of tick bite, but those can vary.

I'll let everyone know what they find out. In the meantime, it's ibuprofen, caffeine, and trying to stay positive.

Just a little FYI, Jay.  My sister has suffered from chronic lyme disease for decades.  Should you have any questions, I am sure she would be glad to share her experiences with you......
