Hi my name is Chuck I'm a T-6 para, 44 years in chair. Lately I've been falling apart, now I have damaged my knee somehow and it's swollen causing sympathetic pain reaction
as in cold sweats and spasms in the leg when it gets in a bad position. I've been to my Orthopedic Surgeon and had Xrays. My knee on Xray doesn't look anywhere near normal
and my Doc can't see any broken bones. No MRI yet. If it was broken my Doctor said he isn't sure if a cast on my leg might cause me more problems then help if he did see any fractures. He's not ruling out a small stress fracture. Have no temp. Has anyone ever had this kind of reaction to knee or joint problems. I need something that stops the cold sweats and spasms
I hate cold sweats in summer !
