Last night, I had the worst knee pain in my joints and knee caps that I have ever experienced. It was a deep, throbbing ache that nothing soothed. I wanted to chop my knees off at the source of pain and be done with it. It felt like it was an ache all the way through and in the bone. I couldn't get comfortable no matter how I sat or stood. I have a very high pain tolerance, and this was unbearable.
Does anyone else experience knee pain? What helps to calm it?

Hi Sara,
A week ago I also had the worst knee pain ever. It felt like someone was ripping my legs out of my body! Honestly I wanted to chop my legs off as well. But I wasn't able to stand or walk so couldn't do anything. I cried the whole night, nothing seemed to work or calm me down. I'm sorry, didn't figure out yet what can help...
Since then I have an electric blanket and it seems to calm down the daily pain a bit. But I don't know if it works as well when you have unbearable pain...
Hugs,
Melissa
Hi, Sara. My left knee gives me fits sometimes; when it’s real bad it gets swollen & I can’t put weight on it. I can’t even sleep without crying out if I move it the wrong way. I have arthritis in that knee & when the fibro flares up, the knee does too! I alternate putting ice pack on it then use the heating pad. I also use capsaicin cream on it & that seems to make it feel better. I am allergic to NSAIDS or I would use them to help with the swelling & inflamation. I hope that you are much better now.
