I also have the terrible pain in the knees when I first get up in the
morning. It lasts until I have moved around 30 minutes or so. Then,the rest
of the time it is pain that I became accustomed to. My back feels like I just
got hit by a Mack truck. After I'm moving around the back settles down to
feeling like it had only been hit by a volkswagon. Please do not be
depressed, cause everything is going to get better! I look at my situation and
think how fortunate I am,cause it could be worse. I guess I kinda look at our
pain,lack of mobility and diminished body functions as a test. May God Bless!
