Sorry I meant to say that I have been taking Vitamin D2 I am also taking B12, everything gets so jumbled up after taking so much stuff.LOL. I will be sure to ask about the tendon issues the orthopedic surgeon says I have a shallow grove where the patella sits and the ligaments aren't tight enough to hold the patella in place. It is strange because it was fine for the three years since the surgery and is now acting up again, and I have done nothing to irritate it. The OTC patches seem like a good idea, will they help with swelling too? Do you think the gallbladder could just be inflammed from everything that has been going on? I am going to have my SED Rate checked again this coming week.
