Discuss CeltycMoon's answer to: What will be the problem?

I'm so very sorry about your grandma's problems dear!  This time of year often the weather is cold and can make our joints hurt terribly bad.  You say tests turn out negative, but there are so many tests and x-rays that can figure in.  Is she perhaps overweight and it pushes down on the actual knees or are the knees hot or swollen?  I'm going to jump in here on the dark urine here and more or less blame her diabetes on that one and say as long as urine is darkish, drink more water!  If she isn't a big water lover, believe me, I can understand as would my daddy.  LOL  I did love the water at safe springs and streams (usually our actual water supply) growing up.  Now I find it can be the same flavor if you refrigerate your tap water.  Often my blood sugar goes so high that all we know how to get it down is drink water!  Losing some weight has had a great effect on my diabetic readings!  Grandma must keep doing those blood sugars, dear, no matter what!  I'm truly lost when a nurse or doctor asks me, "Well, does it feel like you're drunk or maybe even stoned?"  See, I do not know what those things are like, so cannot answer those things and I suspect I'm not the only flower child era out there who can answer that question, either!  If a knee brace helps, I suggest the light Bauer & Black.  There is always a possibility of Neuropathy.  If you do rub her legs, use a lotion, and I'm going to suggest once a day at least, but.....pay attention here!  Rub ONLY up!  A most beloved primary told me have my son to do this a few years ago; she demonstrated, and I will say she was right; you truly cannot do it yourself, and yes, it will hurt (me, at least).  But I have no choice; I do some upward motion with other foot then do what I can with hands with good lotion.  Never worry about lotion; skin is no doubt very dry anyway.  I have a totally blocked artery in left leg so I have lots of leg pain.  I get Hylund's leg cramps pills and take hydrocodeine, or often two gel tylenols plus an aspirin.  I'm not often pain free.  She must walk!  If she needs a walker or rollator, do that!  Even short distances!  Be sure when she gets up, she actually gets stable before taking off!  Also, some things I cannot take; perhaps you can ask her doctor about Celebrex!!  It is something I can take and perhaps it could help her!  Also, this is out there!  Rub your hands together for awhile then pull them slowly apart; you will feel something!  Even inches from her skin you can pull pain from her in this Pranic healing.  Have a blessed Thanksgiving and do feel free to e-mail me if you need!  I will be thinking about you!  BEV
