Update on the Knee

I went to the Dr. on Friday and found about my knee. I've been going to this doctor for a long time for various orthopedic things. When I move I snap, crackle and pop from all my joints. This doctor has told me that I am going to have a painful old age because of this. After he looked at X-rays and manipulated my knee, he asks me if I remember when he told me that I'm going to have a painful old age. I said yes, and he said, well apparently it starts now.

What I had was an arthritic flare up. The thinking is that between being on my feet for the previous week and the large pressure change that happened (along with the increased humidity), it caused the arthritis that is in my knee to bother me. The truth is, once I started moving it, it didn't feel that bad. After I stopped moving it for a while, it hurt again. This was a preview for the rest of my life apparently.
