water on the knee (MG?)
So, my right knee felt like a water balloon for about a month. No pain. No injury. Very weird. I thought it might be caused indirectly by the MG, because my leg-muscles were weak and I was sort of hyper-extending my knees while walking. That was the main reason I got a round of IVIG--because I realized I might be damaging my knees.
So, five days after my last infusion, the knee went back to normal almost over-night. After having all that fluid on it for a month. Coincidentally (or not? That's what I'm trying to figure out) that's when I started getting strong again.
I'm just asking for ideas. One thing always lurking at the back of my mind is the possibility of additional auto-immune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis. It was so strange, though, that my knee was so goofed up without either trauma or pain.
