does anyone else have chronic joint pain due to a preexisting injury? and if so, how do you deal…

I do, I broke my elbow back in February when I was around 10 weeks. I honestly just tough it out, if it gets unbearable I take Tylenol since we are allowed to have it.

Tylenol does like nothing for me @lilymama I have a partially torn meniscus as of 2012 that army doctors refuse to operate on. they handed me 800mg ibuprofen pills and said they'll discuss surgery when I blow my knee out.

You can always talk to your ob and see if he can prescribe something that's stronger and safe for you

I'll try it @lilymama I have maybe 2 more appointments in korea if they wanna do one before I pcs to germany, but I go to a korean doctor and sometimes they don't always understand what I mean. so I might have to wait til I get my doctor in Germany

Oh man, well best of luck..hopefully you're not in too much pain.

thanks @lilymama it's not unbearable. it's about how I feel after I run the pt test. as long as it isn't locked up and popping too much it's not super bad

I have arthritis and I hurt really bad all the time. I just have to suffer through.

yeah @junebaby I guess I'm just gonna have to keep pushing through it. I ice and stuff but it only does so much. after I have this kid, I'm going to get another mri on my knee and see if I can get surgery yet, or at least be on a pain management plan

I did my hip. I just stretched mainly and baths. I ended up not being able to handle the pressure of pushing because of it I thought it was gonna snap

That's what I do is ice or heat.

Ouch @steph11 that sucks

I hope you get some relief.

oh and Tylenol or heat/ice other wise I just dealt luckily I carried high so it wasn't the end of the world for me
