[quote:unclereggie:MV82NzUzOTFfMTAyODk5ODRfQjgwNzhGQUE=] [quote:CO SKY WATCHER 366470] Have you seen a Rheumatologist yet? I have a condition called Psoriatic Arthritis, which means all my joints are under attack from my immune system. I see a MD in Denver, the Denver Arthritis Clinic and get monthly chemo there and it seems to stop temporarily the extreme joint pain and swelling. I also take Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Good Luck I know how crippling the pain can be, and depressing too. I hope you find something that works :hf: [/quote] No, no Rheumatologist yet. Thatnks for the info and good luck back at you.

My knee is fully involved and at some point will need a total knee replacement - only 55 so doctor says it should wait if possible. Had orthoscopic surgery to trim away damaged cartilage and remove bone chips.
Current pain meds are nambumeton 750 mg twice daily and tramadol 50 mg every 6 hours. Ain't hacking it. Knee aches pretty much constantly. Cannot be on my feet for more than 3 hours or so at a time. Not supposed to, but been supplementing with acetaminophen.
Not looking for medical advice - have a doctor for that. Just looking for information about pain meds that actually work from anyone in a similar situation.
Thanks for any info.
