Finally an answer. After years of grinding knee pain, stiffness and my knee giving out for no apparent reason my rheumatologist ordered an MRI. The results showed Osteoarthritis, which I honestly didn’t expect. I thought it would be rheumatoid arthritis. Since there is nothing one can really do that I’m not already doing, the immediate plan is to loose weight and then go through a series of Sinovisc injections to see if that will help. According to my doctor the results from the injections vary, not always towards the positive, so I will see if the much needed weight loss will help with some of the relief, and take it from there. So…onward and downward…with the weight loss.
