Here is a brief overview of the crap I’ve had for over two years and what I’ve been doing to try to fix/get rid of it!
- July 2004 - While travelling in Germany my left knee started swelling, Ibuprofen took away the swelling and the pain, Doctor suggested I strap it
- Dec 2004 - In Uk - had 10 session of therapy with an Osteopath for ’swelling behind the kneecap’ - eventually suggested that I get a steroid injection - but as I wasn’t signed up for the Dr this didn’t happen
- July 2005 - moved, new job - still knee pain - now progressed into lower back pain - got private insurance
- saw new doctors
- had x-ray’s
- Isotopic scan
- Athritis tablets (trying to get off the ibuprofen which I was taking every day)
- Could find no problems with my knee/back or bones - sent me to a physiotherapist
- Aug 05 - Jan 06 Physiotherapy - aleviated alot of the back pain - still on the ibuprofen, depleted muscles in thigh and calf and along left vertegra
- Aug-Oct 06 - Osteopath for pain control - trying to get rid of the last of the back pain
- Helped more with the leg and back pain - but still at a static level
- November - Stopped Ibuprofen by myself
- Suffered from bad withdrawl symptoms (shaking, sickness, headaches, hightened pain)
- In pain constantly - but at a tolerable level
- Nov - Dec 06 - Had some acupuncture as unable to sleep over 3 hours per night
