    I have similar symptoms....It's a lot to adjust to. I'm very concerned about my recent neurological and rapid skeletal changes. I do not have medical support( a lot of experts who cannot diagnose or treat the problem)its just been almost a year and a half of testing...I had other symptoms( lungs, gastro)which have subsided, now this. I think I have an inflammatory component. The nerve thing is the worse but there is outside hope they can be regenerated, but as for the skeletal morphing, I guess not, it just gets progressively worse.

    I am not handling this well.

The breakdown of cartilage in the knee can lead to bony protrusions called spurs and considerable joint pain.
