Hi Krissy - your timing couldn't be any better. I have been absolutely suffering for the last 2 weeks + with pain in my knee - left side, which also happens to be my most affected by TM. I've been using Icy Hot, which does help a tiny bit, but I literally have not been able to put any pressure on my left leg at all. And I'm so sick of going to doctors that I haven't even called for an appt. I just keep hoping it will go away. I will be very interested in hearing what your xray shows. I have also tried taking ibuprofen and it hasn't helped. I'm not liking this very much since it was already a challenge to walk!!
I'll ask too - has anybody else had to deal with this and any ideas on pain relief??

Its not the knee cap but to the side a bit . (inner) She took an xray, but havent heard back anything yet, and she said i'll have an mri if nothing on xray. She told me to take ibuprofen on a reg basis (up to 800 mg) but it still hurts painfully to get up and walk until I walk it out a bit. I have applied heat but it doesnt seem to last long. It's on my right leg too, which is the one most affected by the TM. Any ideas what I could do to alleviate some of the pain? Has anyone developed anything like this after getting tm? I never had any pain of any sort with this tm... ~Krissy~ We are all in this together, by ourselves. - Lily Tomlin ~I'm In pretty Good Shape For the Shape I am in~
