    Oh bless you hun hope your dr can help sort you out. Try a cold compress on your knees and sit with your legs up placed on pillows as high as you can. Ive got badly swollen ankles my knee is swollen to day.You have my every sympathy on the struggling to walk front. My mobility has got worse since last year. I know have to use a wheelchair. get all the help support you can. Can you work part time or claim pip or esa. rest up take care gentle hugs xx

      Hi Sarapainfree;  are you taking any meds at all (especially any anti-inflammatories, such as Brufen/naprosan), these I know Do cause swelling, and should only be used for short periods of time............there are many other pain meds assiciated for relief of pain for Fibro I think this is what your question came under the heading of??)....and seeing a Rhuematologist is a very good start to having these other meds trialed if you havn't already?.....can you let us/me know what you do take, and see if anything is of similar value to what we have trialed?  There are also many supplements that I take that help me to cope, as well as Natural Therapies, including Physio and massages, to relieve the muscular pains/tension..................will be looking out for your reply...........Bron
