I will keep this short... went to visit a friend in hospital today and whilst I was there a doctor who was in the same lift as me saw me wince when my knee twisted... he had a feel of it and asked me to do some movements... he told me I need to see my GP and ask for a referral to rheumatology as he thinks my knees are arthritic as well as hypermobile. My back may be the same but he says that will need scans to tell... feeling worried and upset now :( xx
Look at it this way , he was honest and upfront , and aware enough to catch it , that's more than most doctors do . and what he found isn't new you already had it , you just found out why and what it could be all of which is treatable . So stop worrying and go get it checked . you may find relief waiting for you ! ...hugs Mike
I will definitely be getting it checked... I can not ignore it when there are things that can help within reach xx
Hey Mike, getting answers are the best way of getting as well as we can be! You are long over due to see one! I'm hoping for good things to happen, my friend!
Chin up!

Hi Mike,
I know it is worrisome to think you have yet something else to deal with, but on a positive note maybe the caring and observation of that doctor may have caught this early. I'm sure there are treatments for this and maybe once see the Rheumatologist it won't be as bad as all that. Just trying to see the positive side of things. Isn't it so nice that that doctor took the time to tell you this! Now stop worrying and smile like you have been for the past few days since announcing your wedding plans. Focus on all that great stuff and take the rest as it comes.
Hugs to you!
