Hi, i have been reading a lot of these posts and comparing them to my symptoms, i hope to get an answer, since March of last year 2020 I felt pain in my left side and a pain in the upper left side of my buttocks after a few days pain was gone, then June I went for a long walk and the next day my left knee was swollen, after a few weeks I went to see my doctor, of course, he said not to worry, he did tell me to use a cold pack for 15 to 20 minutes 3 to 4 times a day, the swelling did not go away, he gives a referral to see a neurologist he did an EMG and said there was nothing wrong with me, I went to another doctor and I went to see a rheumatologist same thing said everything is fine with me told him my left knee is swollen told me not true, finally, I called the doctor and finally I got a referral for an MRI the spine I am waiting for the results, it does take two weeks, so right now I feel pain on both sides of the knees I was wondering are these the symptoms of rehumatoid arthritis or peripheral neuropathy also I feel on both legs some tingling. I do hope for an answer. Ty

Hi Ty, first of all, if you see a doctor with a complaint of pain somewhere, no way they should say to you there is nothing with you simply because a test does not show any issue. Pain means there is SOMETHING wrong, by definition! Also, I'm surprised if you were told it takes 2 weeks for an MRI result. I have had MRIs twice and both times the results were available immediately. Best, Hank

Hello,
My Mom had knee pain and the Orthopedist was unable to identify any structural or other problems so he recommended 1-2,000mg of turmeric which completely relieved her discomfort.
Good luck,
Jake
