Hi all! I know I haven't been around much but I don't get a lot of comuter time now.
I have been having such fun that I feel like I'm going to die and afraid I'm not going to.
The week before Holloween, I started the Synvisc shots in the right knee. Talk about pain! I could barely atand up after the shot and then my room mate wants to go to the store. Shot #2 was Holloween and after that shot my room mate takes me to a 3 story mall and wants to walk the whole thing. As she is driving, ain't much I can do about it. And guess what? They don't work for me.
Now I am really hurting. I can't be like everyone else. I don't have high blood pressure, mine's low. Low as in 80/45 low. I have also been nausous with acid reflux at night. My doc then takes me off half of my meds for a week so we can find out if the meds are causing these problems or if something else is going on. At the rate I'm going, I'll be in the hospital by Monday. I am cold all the time, my balance is off and I am in such pain that I can't get comfy anywhere!
Well I can't type anymore, so off to bed to try to warm up and find some sort of comfortable postion.
Hugs to all!

Did you have all these problems before the shot? I also had Synvisc shot. It was more painful each time. The Dr seem to put it in a sore spot of my knee. I was told after every shot to say off my feet for 48 hrs.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
