I’ve been having pain in my knee for awhile(since I started playing tennis).Neck problems since I was 15.Anyway,wondering about the pain I had x-rays done on both my neck and right knee.Apparently I have arthritis in both.I am pissed because I know there’s no cure and medication will put me to sleep so no point of even taking it.I can still play tennis but not as well as I use to.I’ve put on 12 pounds since the pain started.I just can’t stand the pain while playing tennis or anything else.I hate that a year ago I was okay’d to play football by the same doctor(I didn’t play though).Okay question,like I said I don’t care too much for medication but if you have arthritis anywhere will any of the muscle ointment work for you?Icy hot,bengay,equate etc.I usually put a hot towel on it or a ice pak and lay down.Another question is instead of getting a job should I try to get diability?I don’t really won’t to but a few people told me I should if the pain is real bad.Thanks in advance.long,sorry
