Every since my move to KY, my joints have become stiffer & stiffer.
To start with, the knee I had reconstructed feels almost like it did before the surgery....I rationalize that away because I haven't done any weight lifting leg exercises to build the muscle to help hold the knee together....so it's crunching & goes out once in awhile.
Every since the ice storm the end of January/beginning of Feb, the joints in my fingers & hand are so stiff, I can't close my fists. Then the hip that I had fractured many years ago is starting to ache. Along with every joint in my body. I need a hot shower in the morning just to get my body un-stiff so I can move.
I would say if it hurts or not....the only problem is that I am on such a high dose of Fentynal duragesic patches for the migraine head ache that were constant, that all I feel is one huge ache all over my body.
Have no idea what is going on......I started taking glucosamine/Msm/??? to see if that would help....just startd so need time to see results. I have an appointment with my pain specialist.....thought I would talk to him, but don't want him jumping into it being the medication when there may some other reason......like I'm just getting older....Birthday was last week. At least with the medication, I am able to keep it at an ache.....can you imagine the pain I would be feeling if it wasn't for the medication I'm on.
Just wondering if others have any similar feelings. The fingers in my hand will just cramp up & I can't hold onto what I have in my hands like when I'm doing dishes. I would look at the not being able to do something as a good thing except living alone....if I don't get the things done....they don't get done....no money to hire anything done, so it's all up to me.....my body doesn't even get going until after 2pm & a hot shower.
