No, my knee pain is from femoralpatellar syndrome (both knees) and some hyperextension, I've had it since I was 13 or so, at least ... basically a deficiency in the ammount and strength of the supporting cartilage aroud the kneecap; it comes and goes, hasnt been too bad lately, or maybe it's jsut that with the constant foot pain, I hardly notice the knees anymore

Think positive......there ARE ways to get a better quality of life. Please don't fall in the same trap I did by letting your conscience try to convince you that your life has been doomed.....

... that's exactly how I've been feeling, especialy after going to the foot doc, getting the neoropathy dx, reading up about it, and then having my hopes for relief from the prednisone / Lyrica, come to nothing much, so far ... like my life is doomed ... that maybe it's my karmic fate, "chickens coming home to roost", etc ... paying for my past, and some would say present, excesses ... (but what about all the folks here, who havent done ANYTHING "selfdestructive", or at least, not intentionally?)
... I can be an extremely, EXTREMELY stubborn person ... I have also been through much of my life, a chronic drop-out / quitter ... so it can work either way, for better or worse: I can stubbornly jump to the front of the line for quitting or giving up, no matter who is telling me not to ... or I can get jsut as stubborn about NOT giving up on something, if I really want it bad enough ... I guess we'll jsut have to see, how that plays out with the PN ...
... Life tests and challenges us all, if it didn't, it wouldn't be Life, I guess ... as far as the "telling myself that my life is doomed", well, I'm trying to fight it, that's why I'm here ...
