Yep. It's better to have a look and rule out things.

Yeah, I am leaning towards arthritis too. I just hope I can get a relief from the pain.

I have totally abused my knees in my life. I was a competitive gymnast in college, went to the nationals and placed 26th after only participating a few years (a natural I guess). Years of running 10K's, 1/2 Marathons and years of backpacking and hiking in the wilderness.  Yes, I have fallen several times in the last 8 months, but I think arthritis is the real answer. Just getting old...

87 this morning.  Our high yesterday was 105° and that looks like it will be the exact same for the next few days.  Not bad at all for August here.
Barbara, I think you will get a lot more information from the Orthopedic doctor.  Usually an X-ray is all that is needed to see if it is osteo arthritis and like I have said before the steroid injections really took care of mine.

129 this sunny morning.

85° was the high here yesterday, today's forecast is 93°/50° again hopefully it stays in the mid 80's.

Yeah Wally, I hope to get some real answers when I get in to see the Orthopedic dr. I have to call Monday to get my appointment date.

Wow. Very impressive Barbara.  ~hlu~
It is likely that those activities have stressed your knees as you think. A lack of collagen could also be acting up due to age factors. The liposomal Vit C should help. If your sache/capsule is providing you with 1 gm of Vit C, I would try upping it to 3 a day. It might help.

81 this morning.  Our high yesterday was 105° and it is supposed to be the same today.  There is a small chance for scattered showers tomorrow but probably not here.

105 this sunny morning. Late to post, slept in and the day has been all topsy turvy since then...

Yesterday's high was 85°, today's forecast is 91°/50°.

Knee is sore today. Tomorrow I call for Orthopedic dr appointment. Hope they can get me in soon. skb, my Liposomal Vit C has 1450mg per 2 capsules, and 50mg of Phospholipid Blend.

Another Sunday delivery from FedEx, this must be something new...

The idea behind liposomal (engulfed in fat) is that the delivery of the inner content to the blood stream is almost 90-95 % which is as good as intravenous. The phopholipid is the outer shell containing the 725 mg per capsule. My preparation delivers 1 gram. I take 1 dose per day but days when I'm not well I do go for 2 or 3.

So is my dose enough?

I don't think so. Since Vitamin C has no negative side effects and any excess not required by the body is flushed out, I'd say you should try to go for 4 capsules, for now and increase to 6 if you see any benefit.

Where's Wally?? He has usually posted well before this. Hope all is well.

117 this sunny morning.

Yesterday's high was 82°, today's forecast is 93°/47°.

skb, I am a little nervous about upping the Vit C so much, the bottle says only take 2 a day. I've never taken this form of Vt C before so I hesitate going that high before I know how I will react to the normal dose first. I don't have a good history with new drugs/meds.

I am here.  I didn't sleep last night at all and just got up at 12:00 PM.  I still didn't get any sleep this morning so didn't test.  I don't know why I am having a problem with sleeping but I hope to improve that.

Glad you are OK I was worried... did you try Benadryl? I keep some by the bedside for the few times I can't sleep.

I agree with you but Vitamin C is not a drug nor medicine. Humans, bats, Guinea pigs and fish cannot make their own Vitamin C, the rest of the animal kingdom does. Therefore we need to have Vitamin C coming in from food and if that doesn't suffice for whatever reasons then we need to supplement. As I said, Vitamin C has no side effects, the excess that cannot be absorbed by the body gets flushed out. Dr. Pauling the pioneer on Vit C research used to take 18 grams a day. I can feed you with endless research and papers, but in the end the call is yours.

Thanks skb, I will take it one day at a time. Interestingly my knee is better today after 3 days of the Liposomal VitC just 2 capsules a day. I'll go another day before I increase, but maybe I don't need to. Will see what the PA says tomorrow. I wonder if this leans towards Arthritis as opposed to  a torn meniscus? It would be nice...
