On Monday I went to have the second injection of gel into my left knee. As I said before it wasn’t painful, just uncomfortable. He injected the gel into the same place on the outside of my knee.. I was so relieved as I know from my other injections (for the thread veins in my legs) that the inside of the knee is very sensitive. He told me that’s why they choose the same place, it’s also easier for them that way too. I think that my left knee is easier to move around and behaves better on the stairs too. I’ve just finished my first month of glucosamine. I’m having less pain in my shoulder, though it does depend how long I’m on the computer. As I had a few days break last week it could be because of that.
Tuesday was the vein doctor. Both treatments are perfectly safe with each other. I checked that with both doctors.
Next week The Swedish Chef! (see October 9th 2004)

Glad to know it's having a positive effect, Anji. It's rotten when you are plagued with pain that won't go away.

Gosh, pin cushion woman. Now to checkout the Swedish Chef....
By gum woman, you are ARE having a right going over. Yes, I found the Swedish Chef reference. This is just routine isn't it?
Some thread veins can be sorted with a quick flash of light, a few seconds and it's over. Have they suggested that as a treatment?
Flew over you today, thought the flight would go another way this time, you seemed to be having a nice day for lunch outside...
Lucy: Apparently I have to wait 6 weeks to see if it's worth starting on the other knee.
Doris: I've got other examinations coming up and I should see the dentist too...
Caroline: I'll ask about the flash of light method, sounds much less trouble.
Yes the weather was good until quite recently; now we're heading for November weather, cold and damp
