Here I am feeling very sorry for myself at present and still in pain from my left hip and right knee.
The results from the hip X-ray have shown that apart from general wear and tear, in relation to my age, everything is ok and the problem with the hip seems to be muscular.
But the right knee is another story and the doctor thinks that I have damaged the cartilage. I have to have a scan on that to determine the extent And go from there. I am at present hobbling around on an elbow crutch until I get “fixed”.
I can’t get up and down stairs properly and consequently I can’t get work done and hence no videos for you to view. Fortunately I have all my Friday Freebies done for a few weeks in advance and so they are going ahead as planned.
The winner today is ...
Jacqueline Koendering

ReplyDeleteHi Christina
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are still in so much pain - hope they will be able to 'fix' your knee and although very painful glad your hip is not as serious as you thought. Although we love to see your videos the main thing is that you come before work so take it very easy and get plenty of rest. Take care and look after yourself
Hugs and best wishes

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jacqueline. Sorry to hear that things are not good. Hopefully you don't need surgery on your knee and the CAT Scan shows a good result. Take it easy and look after yourself
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your knee and hip. Hope you get some help in near future and you are not in too much pain. Take care, Maria x
Christina, I have a knee problem too, so know how you feel. Can they give you "cortisone" shots in your knee? I was barely able to walk, but I got one of those shots and it was like a miracle. I walked out of there with no pain. I get them every 3 months in my knee and both wrists and it really is a miracle drug. The bad thing about your injuries, though, is that one's on your left side and the other on your right. I imagine it's quite difficult to get around at all. I hope all the good wishes and prayers you're receiving are helping.

Sad to hear that your in pain hopefully the doctor will be able to something quick to relieve the pain....take it easy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner...enjoy the magazine and the goodies that comes with it.
Oh Christina, so sorry to hear that you're got problems with your left hip and right knee. Make sure you haven't got the start of osteoarthritis or osteoporosis (as docs have been telling me for years that I have wear and tear) now confirmed as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis with a DAXA scan. I know that feeling well. Hope if it is muscular in your hip it can be easily sorted with physio and if it is damaged cartilage, they can do something for you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jacqueline xx
