All of a sudden out of nowhere I've had a hard time walking cause one knee was bothering me. Thought it was meniscus. Went to (typical condescending, "guess I have to talk to this poor person to make my Ferrari payment") orthopedic Dr. He said its arthritis and to eat Meloxicam (sp?) every day for the rest of my life or untill I need a new knee (that will poison me with shards of metal coursing through my veins). Wife is like suck it up buttercup. We have 39 more Mopar shows to do before taking the long dirt nap smile


Meloxicam works ok, do not have surgery. I did and have had 2 shots of cortisone in left knee and one in right in August. It gets you by. Those ritis brothers gets us all eventually, I was getting 2 shots each month for RA ($4000 each) shut that down in Dec because it hinders the immune system (arthritis is caused by the immune system attacking the joints) do the best you can. And the docs do look at us as $$$$$$, i have 8 Docs now and climbing, one before Medicare came on board.
