I am 45 years and was in good health 20years ago. For over 10 years i have battled with a bad knee pain. I have had 3 knee operations in the last 6 years, and the last operation, that was to break my bone and change the angel to reduce the weight on the "inside" of the joint i refuged to do! I go to the gym once a week, and it makes my wellbeeng better... Still i have to use painkillers in an amount that is sure to be harmful! Ibuprofen 800mg 4-6 ps, panacod 6 ps. Lyrica 15mg 4 ps. a day. Still a have in the afternoon a painful limp and hard to sleep, so i take a Stella per night. I was wisiting Poland a couple of weeks ago, and was asked why i dont have the steroid block? I was not aware of that it was such things, and asked my doctor when i came back to my contry. But she hadent an idea! Can anyone tell me what this is? i want to show it to my doctor.
