Well, that's depressing. I'm on Prednisone for Polymyalgia Rheumatica and I've developed
acute knee pain with a tender spot on the inside of my knee. I did have an x-ray at Urgent Care which showed meniscal calcium crystals. Rheumatology does not think that is enough to give me this degree of pain. He's taking a gander that it is Pes Anserine Bursitis and gave me a Cortisone injection in hopes that it will relieve the pain. He also ordered an MRI in case that doesn't do the trick. By the way I have no visible swelling or warmth. I thought maybe he could drain the knee to relieve pressure and analyze the fluid. He didn't think there was enough.
Maybe I should be grateful that at age 74 this is my first experience with knee issues.
Since I haven't had any prodedures/surgeries do you think I might have a full recovery sooner than later?
I'm missing work. Since I'm a cashier which includes twisting, turning, lifting and bagging, I fear it'll be a while before I can manage my duties. It hurts like hell.
