I have quite a lot to say about the link you provided, so will be back with a separate comment. Have you worked through “DAMN-IT” (from one of my previous comments) and seen where that gets you?
Yeah, informally. I don’t really have a lot. I saw a physiatrist a few weeks ago, she felt there may be a little arthritis in the joint, but it wasn’t the main problem.
I’ve got an order from my GP for blood work, including looking for markers of systemic inflammation, but haven’t had a chance to fill it yet. In general I don’t feel like I’m very inflamed—my other joints don’t really have a lot of issues (well.. a bit of tendency to rotator cuff soreness from climbing, but it generally seems well managed).
I lost a lot of leg strength with lockdown, bec I lost access to bit barbells, which has been shown to be a risk factor for knee pain. I’ve been working on rebuilding hip flexor and abductor strength, altho more in the high-reps/body-weight range.
There was no major mechanical incident or change; I’m pretty careful with my diet (like, careful enough to worry about omega-6/3 ratios, and to eat sardines a couple of times a week. I don’t really eat industrially processed or produced foods, except for tofu, which is a staple and canned beans).
They seem to respond well to icing and voltarine, which makes me slightly more confident in the “low grade inflammation” theory.
He’s dying. Likely going into palliative soon.
