Being Anxious is no joke. I finally was able to get the medicine that I needed for a long time to kill my pain but now I am wondering about when I run out. What will I do? How long will I have to suffer.? Will I be able to go through another week without pain meds for this horrible condition. I must admit that I have other issues that are starting to weigh down on me.

I told her about everyone brushing me off all these months. I told her even the orthopedist didn't do an xray on my first visit.

At the end April 2009 my life I fell and bruised both of my knees and little did I know that this would change my life as I knew it. I am a supervisor at a Road Construction Company and my job entails working 15-16 hour days 6 days a week and my job is extremely stressful. When the pain and swelling started I thought this will be better in a f...1 Recommendation
