Question
COOL BREEZE
I am kind of interested in hearing from Vets here who have N/P. The doctor at my compensation hearing noted I have severe N/P b/l upper and lower. She wanted to know what the VA was doing to treat this issue. Well, they aren't. I am just limping around staying in bed most of the time or sitting down until its time to go to work. There is no mention of anything given for this condition. It does state medication stopped due to side affects by Veterans VA doctor
In fact, the knees are getting so bad it takes a while to get out of bed. Wife was wondering what in the hells was wrong with me-go see a doctor. As far as I know this is a medical condition where you just get doped up with 1200, 1800 mg of gabatin or something else as there is no cure. It is pretty embarassing when she is about 2 blocks ahead of me while I am slowly proceeding. I was asked about using a cane. I use it when I take my dog for a walk because if I fall, it will help me get up.
How bad will this go. Could it cause me to be completely bedridden in a few years?
