Lovely to hear from you Ann but so sorry to hear about your problems. We had our knees done at about the same times. I am having problems that no one knows the causes of, pains on the outsides of both knees where the IT band goes in and out of the knee, and some tightness inside the knee and pain that creeps down my shins. These different problems are never at the same time. I have no knee pain, although I haven't got the flexion. I would like, and have lost some I think over the last year.
I suspect although can't prove that the problems were caused to a large extent by a drug I was given for Osteoporosis. The leaflet said it could cause muscle and ligament problems, although all my Doctors say it wouldn't have lasted this long. I started the pills in the last week of last August and by the end of October I was stiff and had lost flexion, and then the pains started. It also triggered my epilepsy which had been stable for years. I have had many trips to my Neurologist and my drugs changed 5 times, and at last there seems to be some improvement. However I cannot ride my bike or swim, although I am still dancing. I am being treated by a Chiropractor and I do believe I can see a tiny improvement.
What sort of treatment are you having? Do keep in touch, all my bones,art compatriots seem to have recovered well and gone on their way rejoicing, so I have been feeling very left out and despondent.
