    Fibro pain and knee replacement

    Interesting that you brought this up. IN 2014, I had a total knee replacement of my right knee. The recovery and PT was HORRIBLE! I bruised everywhere, my knee and leg ached for months and required icing, and when all was said and done, I still had significant pain coming from the patella...

    How much does Lyrica or similar drugs really help Fibromyalgia pain?

    OK, I get the point. You are all likely correct. If I am to lower my pain and return to some bit of life, I guess I do have to try changing my diet for two weeks or so, and see if anything helps. I do have nothing to lose and there is almost nothing left that I have not tried. Your advice is...

    Sadly, my biking is not particularly aerobic, with pumping and climbing hills. Maybe that kind of biking for an hour burns a few hundred calories, but my biking on an electric bike is mild pedaling, coasting, pedaling, electric assistance up hills, etc. I doubt I even burn 50 calories in 30...

    Cookiebaker: Thanks for the reply. Believe me, I understand your points. I do in fact bike ride every day for 30 minutes. For some reason, pedaling a bike does not hurt me. Perhaps it is the way I'm sitting, with my weight mostly on the seat. Plus, my bike is an Ebike and when I hit a...
