Hi Callallo~
Thought I might answer your inquiry into bone on bone knees. I found out that there is no space between my bone and well..the other bone...so no room for a needle intervention. I'm seeing the OS this Wednesday...and gee..after they got all my recent x-rays and MRI..I got upgraded to a 20 min. consult! Don't know if this is a good omen or not...but, I'm thinking positively...not much else to do. Yesterday I couldn't get out of my own way..knee pain..lower back pain...mid back pain...cranky's! I finally had a glass of wine and an hour later took a tylenol and an ibuprofen....that took the edge off....now, this morning..I'm pretty much pain free!
Actually...I have pretty good am's...but around noon, I start to get into pain..that lasts well into the evening. Most days I just try to walk if off in my house....keep moving...then hot wraps and my infra-red belts for treatments on my back, hips and knees...at least this takes my mind off of the pain. It's quite fatiguing, I'm finding....
I have been doing collagen everyday...I do notice that my nails are brilliantly strong!...guess it helps all things that collagen affects.
I'll let you know how the consult went....stay safe out there...keep moving....have you tried the balance exercise yet?

I've joined the Mayo walking pledge. I live on top of a huge hill as the neighbors call it. I call it The Alp. And there's at least one mama black bear with cubs that might have me opt for a treadmill instead of sauntering around this spot.

I hope you get good news and, more importantly, solutions. But in the meantime, have you tried, or are you contemplating, CBD things for the pain? You're lucky to live in a lovely place in a state where it's legal and some people in the neuropathy boards find it helps.

PS I think the weighted vest thing is interesting but a lot of women already have crummy posture and doctors constantly advising women not to carry heavy tote bags and such so wonder if a weighted vest could cause the same risk?
