7. I have not had a Dr see me in several years. I am a terrible patient

Oct 2022

I am doing a big knee sponge in bed, 4 inch foam pillow topper, a heating pad, ibuprofen with breakfast.
Stretches, cussing, breathing into & out the pain while doing guided imagery mediation, massage unit.

I have rolled a wash cloth up, & put it in the most painful spot, then slept on that, in hopes that the external pressure would help.
The back of the leg tingling& twitching gets worse if I stand too long, so I stand till the pain forces me to sit.

More cussing.

Maybe some of those will help you


edited to add, I also started changing my food intake, thinking less adipose tissue, less joint pressure. Yes, a diet
