Osteoarthritis
"I have always been a very active person. But I started to get a bulge around my left knee. Really not painful untill I got back into heels. Then it ached.

   .   So I stepped down to my sneakers. If I did extreme lifting and carrying cases of water upstairs thet would ache. But I started hearing the grinding of my knee.

         I made an appointment with ortho doc.,got MRI done of my knee. I needed a knee replacement! But I wasn&#039;t ready yet even though I am getting up there, I surprise people all the time with what I still do.

......Got the shots,one in each knee. No big deal. 6 weeks later,I cannot walk,using crutches,in enormous pain. Knees so swollen and hard. Can&#039;t bend them. What do I do now?"
