I was 24 when it happened. I am almost 34 now. We live in Clovis, NM. The stinky armpit of NM. Lubbock, Tx is about an hour away. So I don't have access to a lot of the military hospitals or VA clinics that might be having good success dealing with this diagnosis. I am going to my PCM in the 18th and am going to ask him if he will fill out the form for a handicap placard over here. I already know that I am not going to get better. I am only going to get worse. My right knee is now starting to hurt. Now its a matter of trying to get DRs that listen and don't automaticly think I only want pain meds.
