How Can I Relieve The Intense Pain Caused By DJD?
I have OA and recently found out about DJD. I hurt all the time but when I lay down at night to go to sleep... my pain level starts to rise until it is totally consumed me and as Im crying andIm trying to go to sleep... my husband tells me that I knock out from the intense pain. Then he tells me that everytime I move into another position... I cry out from the pain until Im repositioned and knock out again... I have had natural birth and gull stone attacks, and Im telling you that this has them both beat. I hate pain medication but its getting to the point where id rather find a bullet. any suggestions? I was unaware that I would have to pay... Im sorry

Try standing on your heels with toes pointed upwards ( dorsi flextion )
while leaning forward and maintain this position for 1 min
if pain after this painfull exercise then physical therapy can help you
if not u should consider total knee replacement
also u need to check your knee meniscus and ACL by doing a knee MRI
Hope i was usefull to you
Good Luck and sorry for your pain :(
