I am having problems with both of my knees and finally got to an orthopedic doctor last week, who says I have arthritis in both knees and bursitis in right knee (pes anserine bursitis). She prescribed physical therapy which I haven't started yet because I have to get an MRI because of something that showed up on the xray. She said she'd shoot the knees full of cortisone but can't yet because of the MRI. She said to wear shoe orthotics. I've been gulping ibuprofen and Tylenol for 8 weeks now.
Anyone had luck curing your knee arthritis or at least managing it? I can't walk for more than a few minutes--am hobbling, pain is very bad and knees very swollen at night--at times I can't bend them they are so swollen. I can't do my normal life anymore, and it's so icy here that there is no even ground in the yard to walk on. Do not have access to a therapy pool. Anything that has worked for anyone?
