Isometime have such a stiff knee I can't bend it to get into the car with awful pain - a knew brace helps a little for support but my shoulder does the same thing and I cant lift my arm to wash my hair I seem to get the shakes for a few monents and feel like I am walking like a robot - but that only happens now and then and does not last long
What does your doctor say about your symptoms? Has he/she ruled out arthritis? If you haven't already seen a rheumatologist, that might be a good place to start. They tend to be very good diagnosticians and deal a lot with joint problems.
I just wanted to post that I too have similar problems with my pain. It comes from osteo. arthritis in my lower back and knees. Also diabetic neuropathy in my feet. I take vicodin and lyrica and the effectiveness is fading quickly. I guess I need to call my PCP for something else. Good luck to you! cravpa@aol.com Patti

Just wanted to quickly say I suffer in the same way due to osteoarthris in lower back and both knees. Also diabetic neuropathy in my feet. Both conditions very painful. Pain meds are Vicodin and lyrica for neuropathy. Effectiveness fading fast and need something new. Hope this helps.
