I had a right side of brain stroke, gained 60 lbs in 3 yrs. cause I cannot exercise as I WANT TO by walking anymore as I used to. Drs. still cannot decide if I have diabetes or not, they are a joke!! . My left knee is stiff as a board and my left foot swells up all of the time.  I take blood thinner 'plavix', also Simvastatin, lexapro, actonel, I presented to the Dr. with a lot of pain in my knees and lower back, took x-rays and he determined that I have a whole lot of degenerate things going on in those areas and I am just 64. He prescribed Tramadol for pain and some sort of water pill twice a day said I could take Tramadol up to 4 times a day for the pain. Later that evening I thought I would die from excrutiainting pain all over my body!!! It was completely paralyzing!!!! what is that about?? I went to the doc to feel better, not worse!!!
