Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Knee pain

I'm trying to get around these days on crutches and using a wheelchair,
but the good leg... has so much grinding and pain under my kneecap I can hardly stand it. Have had two surgeries already on this knee so knee pain like this is not so good news. I had x-rays taken this week on both knees and hope what I'm feeling does not show bad news... I'm waiting to see whats up, but bending and sitting or rising from sitting is making me pretty crazy...
just tired of the pain... sound familiar??

CA

Wouldn't it be nice if they came up with a knee transplant, CA? I'm feeling the same way about my left ankle. You have had your problems with your knees. Yeah, same old story, the pain is there, but what is the remedy???? Hang in there, maybe there will be some answers yet.

Dogs know the meaning of faithfulness

Probably can't really raise the right amount of empathy for you with your severe knee pain, as I have not experienced any amount of knee pain since I battened in around the house in 2000.(our place is 2 feet off the ground on stumps) I wrecked a knee then, but it eventually came good, fortunately.
But sympathy yes, I really do feel for you. Your knee problem is obviously causing a great deal of angst and pain for you. I know what pain is and chronic pain is a real downer, no matter what part of the body it is in. (although I'm sure a pain in the little fingernail would be easier to bear)
Sorry to hear it is your good knee that is so bad right now.
Surely some new surgical techniques will fix it.
Good luck with the x rays results and keep on keeping on.

P.S. I see in your BIO that you enjoy being a "Californian Girl". Is that the same californian girls The Beachboys used to sing about?

It sure does! Poor CA. I hope and pray the x-rays don't show up anything too horrific! Please keep us posted.

Hi CA,

I hope that the X-rays show some good news. Good luck finding out what's causing this pain and getting rid of it. {{{hugs}}}

Take care my friend

Keep on keepin on Kicking some AS

I am sorry you are having so much pain in your knee. My right knee has been bothering me a lot lately too, but not nearly to the extent you are describing. I hope the doctors will find something to help you soon. It definately is not fun to have something else on the body that just does not want to work right. Best wishes! Laurie

Hi CA

I've recently sent a posting on knee pain but I must say my problem isn't as troublesome as yours. Hope you feel better soon.

Take care

Hi, CA,

I know about being tired of the pain. Maybe this is just a temporary thing, like all the extra stress you're under now may be making you flare up. I'm hoping things will improve for you real soon.

Hugs,

Cindy

Sorry to hear that your knees are bothering you. I hope your x-rays show something so the doc can help you out.

What makes the hottentots so hot? What puts the ape in apricot? Whadda they got that I ain't got?....

CA,
I hope better things for you but this is how it starts.All the things I had done to keep my knees and it was torture.I now have a new right knee that is 7 months old and I am still trying to get used to it but, its a God send to me now for the pain is gone. It was a tuff surgery for me but after 3 weeks I was feeling better and on the road to recovery. My left knee is going now and this time I will not let them prolong the agony. AS affects so many things and it goes many ways axial and peripheral are my game....Take Care.....Annie
