[old man]

I'm sorry Dennis i have gotten side tracked lately my gut issues have cleared them selves up [for the time being] but my right knee is giving me huge issues about every 10-15 days it swells up [above the knee] causes me to miss work [like today] it's very painful and makes it very difficult to get around and no body [doctors] can seem to fix the issue or find what's wrong [X Ray and MRI] show nothing seriously wrong except degenerative joint in my knee , so i suppose i have to live with this till i can't walk then they may do something. Other than that i'm great just waiting for retirement age to come !!

i had almost the same thing an they gave me steroid pills an pain killer for it

[old man]

the steroid was dexamethason the pain went away an swelling went down in 2 hours

Thanks, i'm enduring this crap without meds i have good weeks and several bad days then weeks again . Unfortunatly no VA doctors seem to have a clue how to proceed except cortizone shots which only mask the problem i want it fixed if possible,but i think it's degenerative joint disease so there is no fix only pain relief i suppose.

[old man]

allot of pain meds

No i'll tough it out till i can't take it no more or it don't go away , i have had several good days so far but i'm certan it will come back with in the next 5 days it normally goes 10-15 days between flare ups.
