For the past two weeks i have had absolute agony with my legs, they are like two lead bricks on the end of my knees and now my knees are playing up because of it. I went to the GP about it to see if they could give me anything because i was taking Codine Phosphate and i've tried so many meds that i've lost count now. They told me that there isn't anything else they can give me for the pain any more as i've tried everything! So what do i do now?? He didn't even offer to send me to see any one else or anything 
just cried my eyes out for ages cause i felt so low, disappointed and achy. I've tried my hardest too walk with my crutches as much as possible but its just making things worse and worse now 
i can barely move my legs without it causing me absolute agony! I want to try and go swimming with my friend but at this rate i don't think that's going to happen either managed to get some Ibuprofen 400mg and Paracetamol/Dihydrocodine but they are doing NOTHING! Someone have any ideas cause i'm not really losing any weight now, and i just want to give up, curl into a ball and cry cause of this stupid pain. Please help!

Tell your dr. Youbwantva referee. You have the right to ask for a second opinion. Use it, please.0

Think i'm going to have to cause i spent the whole of last night rolling around the sofa trying to get into a comfy position that didn't start hurting 5 minutes later. Even tried deep heat and cool heat rub but neither seemed to work. Luckily feeling bit better this morning but have barely any strength in my legs at all now so that's really annoyed me! I like being active as much as possible. I like walking and i like swimming i don't want some stupid disability to affect me this badly especially as we're trying for Fostering and this could affect our chances, i won't let this damn disorder ruin my life any more!0

Call your drs. office and tell them you want a referel to a specialist. If they won't do it see if anyone will see you without it. It may be that you need to change GP's.
Good Luck,

Yeah we definitely do need to change GPs ours are absolutely awful! The receptionists are rude and the doctors don't know what they are talking about if they can't type it into their computers. I went to one of them about my PCO a while back and she printed off a load of leaflets for me....i've had PCO for well over 3 years now! I knew more about it than she did so was so pointless. Just annoys me cause they always look bored, like they have somewhere they would rather be. But because of hubby and needing medicals for paperwork etc we can't change GPs yet cause hubby might need stuff for an ATOS assessment at some point. Definitely doing it next year though once everything has settled down. Will have to wait till next week to get an appointment as it's only book on the day and it has to be before 9am which as a carer i struggle to do. 0

I agree you need more help than your GP can give you. So I would defintly call and get referral for a spicalist for your knees! You should not have to live in sever pain. You may always have pain but it could be managed by the right Dr.. Know where you are comming from as now have so much deteration in my lower back that I will always be in pain and have to have help with walking cane or scooter now at 49 years old. You can add me if you want I have a lot of friends that deal with daily pain and health issues. For give miss spelling don't have spell check on this mini laptop.
Have a great day!

All I can think to say is......Im sorry.
Im sorry you hurt
Im sorry you're frustrated
Im sorry things are so difficult
........mostly Im just sorry that all of us have to deal with so much pain ALL the time. It colors our world in a way that infects our very being to the core. It infects all aspects of our lives. If you've never been "here" you cant know the level of pain.
Im not sorry that we all have this special place to come to and vent and share with like minds
