I have had my experiences with doctors and know that some doctors are not as knowledgeable as one would think they are. I would suggest seeking another doctor out if you can. There is this stigma believe that because they are doctors with all their years of schooling, they know so much and are right. That is simply not the case as I have come a crossed it. I have a great doctor, but that was after several doctors and years of wasted time. Now I am on the right track. Sorry, my best to though to help. Best to you.

Remember: God is in control

You are so right. God is in control, but, he gave doc a special ability.

Christopher is right. Some docs are just not what they should be. A second opinion might be helpful.

We tend to give a person more respect just because they are a doc. But, they are human. Talk to him/her. Find out what has been done and if there are more tests that can be done!! Some docs, because they are human, just aren't up on everything!!!

God is in control. I never forget that, but I also remember that God has given us responsibilities, capabilities, and resources to care for our needs and thus, we should be proactive in doing so.

I am sorry to say that it sounds rather impolite by saying 'Remember: God is in control'. It is just me who is very worry about my knee pain. I will go to see a doctor.

@ thomson, you didn't say anything wrong. I replies using the wrong words not intending to have it come out as it did. Sorry about that. Hope your knee pain soon ends.

Couldn't you tell people in the organization that you have knee problems, and see if there is another job you can do without lifting? I'm totally about taking care of your knee. A 2nd opinion might help. You might just need some exercises or a cortisone shot. Usually there are options. I sure hope you find help with this, it's no fun to be left out of things. Been there, done that, still doing it. : )

Hi thomson68,

I used to have knee pain.

I took a supplement called Glucosamine. This helped my pain. Then there came a time I could not afford the supplements and started drinking carrot juice.

Carrot Juice is the natural way to help with knee pain and other joint pain.

If you think the pain is very serious for surgery than I would go to other doctors for opinions.

I do not think taking pain killers regularly is good for our bodies. This is why I chose to go with supplements and then natural with juice.

The juice will not do it immediately it has to be a habit of drinking carrot juice daily. I suggest fresh if you can get a inexpensive juicer at Walmart or K-Mart.

Carrot Juice heals and helps the body with many diseases. I had a nephew who had relapse in tumors after being cancer free for year. He also had lots of joint pain including knees.

I shipped a juicer to him and asked him to try this for 6 months and see what the Doctor says of his health. He is cancer free and no more joint pain. I did not mention the free of joint pain to him. He noticed on his own and told my sister. My sister told me about his revelation of carrot juice.

He does not like vegetables. He does not like the taste of carrot juice. He takes it for his health. I give God all the glory!!

I will be praying for you Thomson68. I have been praying for your addiction. I hope you are getting the support you need.

God Bless,
Hope

Pain killers are a temorary help,Good for short term things, but dont use over long term over the counter, and some prescrition ones. My sons specialist Is now giving him Botox injections for his head pain caused by his injuries 4 years ago. I did not know my son had been over using tylenol now he has liver enlargement .

The good doctor said none of the pain killers are good to take long term because they all cause problems inside of us that will kill us. Yikes!!!

and the botox is worling, we are so grateful too as My son has been given the injections for free , serum costs 400 canadian to buy.He has a person wo is supplying for his need.I am certain it is God who has moved this person to do so.

God truly is in contrrol and I pray that you will find his provision for pain releif for your knees as well.

Praying for your knee. Can you go to a physiotherapist? I have hurt my knee badly on several occasions, including 2dislocations, 4 torn meniscus and a torn MCL, RA and osteo damage.

In every case, the doctors had no idea what was wrong, but the physiotherapist did. Remember to ask for strengthening and stretching exercises to do.

I have been disabled for 16 years, I can barely walk, but I can still ride a bike! Except when I break my wrist, of course!

Praying for you to get the help you need! Knees are treatable, but it will require some work on your part.

As for God being in control, he is totally! We sometimes don't understand the reasons things happen, but God is truly in control! For example, 24 years ago, I was having terrible gall bladder pain, although there were no stones. I had it out, and it turned out the gall bladder was completely filled with a cyst, something the surgeon had never heard of, or seen!

But the whole point of this story, is that I was able to share the gospel with my roommate and lead her to the Lord. If my gall bladder had not hurt, she might never have heard that Jesus died for her sins

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
,

I went to see a doctor who said I have minor arthritis. I was given one week painkiller and cream. Although I know that I should not worry, I am still very worry.

Jesus tells us many times in the Bible not to worry or be anxious but to trust that he is in control.

"do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Phil 4:6

"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?" Matt 6:27

"And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" Luke 12:25

I have bad arthritis in my knees and stretching and strengthening has helped stop the pain.
