Pamidronate Disodium is the newest drug I have infusing into my body these days. It's used to strenghten my bones, I hope it does something for my knees. My knees have been so sore, the pain even wakes me up at night. Heat and/or ice don't touch the pain, I use my pain med concoction my doc suggested but it wears off before I am 'allowed' to take the next dosage. Sometimes the pain has brought me to tears. I have resorted to using a beautiful wooden cane I purchased in Watertown and a wheelchair if we are out and plan to do alot of walking. I hope with warmer weather my knees start to feel better, arthritis in addition to bone cancer sucks! My next appointment is in a month. See you then~

Praying to at least take the edge off the pain! xxoo
ReplyDeleteHope the pain goes away for you soon--I hate it when the arthritis in my knees kicks up (which it often does in yoga--makes for some interesting variations on the positions lol ;). (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your pain. I hope the new drugs work for you.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you every single day.
ReplyDeleteYou are always in my thoughts my friend!!! I hope you find relief soon! <3
ReplyDeleteHoping and praying it helps.
ReplyDeleteHope this new medicine helps Velda! I know about pain in the joints. At least the hip joint. I fell last Spring and injured a Bursa sac in my hip which I hoped would go away on it's own but I just received a cortisone shot for the pain and so far, about five days now, the intense agony I was in, is gone. Or next to gone. From pain on a scale from to 10 to 0 with 10 the highest which is what it was, it's now a 1 I'd say. So, good luck. It's not nice living with pain. Kathy
ReplyDeleteMy love and support and prayers always. I am sorry you are in pain.
