I have severe arthritis in both my knees but it is worse in my left one. My job is a cleaner in a nursing home so I am on my feet all day.
I was dealing with it by wearing braces on both my knees, they helped for awhile but just a few days ago my left knee became a lot worse.
I couldn't go to work Thursday and today Friday due to the pain in my left knee, so I had to take two sick days.
I've been taking Tylenol Arthritis daily for months now and glucosamine sulfate for years but the pain is still severe in my left knee.
I'm going to get a cortisone shot this Wednesday in my left knee so please pray with me that it works.
I'm also putting hot and cold heating pads on my knee as well.
At the moment, for the last few days, I can barely walk around my apartment the pain is so bad.
I need to get this resolved asap so that I can get back to work. I am not a rich person and I need
this job to pay the bills.
I'm 62 and for me this is a physically demanding job, being on my feet all day is killing my knees.
The braces do help and if the medical insurance OKs it, I will be getting a custom brace for each knee.
The custom braces are $1800 each, so please pray that the insurance covers it.
Also pray that the situation with my knees(both left and right) will improve, so that I can get back to work!!
Thanking you for your prayers.
