ONCE A MONTH, have a Monday complian day. LOL

In April I fell and landed on my knee,on concrete, to this day the pain is still so bad I do not want to walk/stand on it. I had xrays & a MRI done on it, was sure somthing damaged. NOT, they said I have osteoarthritis, grade 11, what ever that means.

I was wondering if anyone taking cancer treatments or in remisson notice more pain in there joints? If they had arthritis before but has it now gotten worse? I have had arthritis in my back & neck for a long time but pain medicine and celebrex have help me manage this very well. But being on these meds have not helped the knee. I have increased my pain meds but still a no go. This is causing me to have to sit at home & do nothing or very little. I am wondering about seeing an arthritis specialist or also a shot in the knee!!!??? I do know that some lymphoma does get into your bone marrow & I am sure that is not a nice trip to be on. I have never had my bone marrow tested, my oncologist said he does not think it's in my bone marrow.

I sit here and think it sure would be nice that when you have cancer & going thru treatments, that would be all a person would have to deal with. But no you get to have fingers that tingle or can not open a bottle of water. Headaches from the drugs, retaining fluid/swelling, hair loss, weakness, shortness in breathing, taste buds that makes everything taste like salt, sweating, sleeplness, depression, inching dry skin, face breaks out like a teenager and the list goes on & on..

OK so it's Monday, I think we should have one day a month that we could vent. So I have started & I do feel better, of course I am sitting and not trying to stand or walk..lol... SO ok now it's someone else's turn & I will read it, because sometimes reading about what someone else is going thru makes my problems seem very small.. as the bible said God will not put no more on us than what we can handle,, so thats why he made this MONDAYS...lol..
