I have arthritis

[Celsius]

My knees have been feeling weak after resting for a year now. I was sent to do x ray and the doc concluded I have arthritis.

 

Weird because I have no pain, just weakness in legs after sitting or sleeping. Often the knee just has to "click" and it will be back to normal.

 

I asked ChatGPT and it said arthritis unlikely....more like crepitus. 

 

Should I trust AI or Canadian doctors? AI also mentioned arthritis misdiagnosis can mage things worse by doing incorrect exercises.

I have osteo-arthritis in both knee caps (confirmed), the cartilage in my left knee is almost worn away and I have already had one operation. I wouldn't take the word of ANY unsupported AI information from the internet though the internet is a useful place to look for external sources of information.

 

I would rather trust a doctor especially if they are specialists.

 

IMO you would be better off going to a specialist and getting an X-Ray, then asking the doctor to explain it to you.

 

Try doing a search and typing in "early knee arthritis symptoms" where there is a lot of information available. Some from AI but most of it is not.

 

I am using Ibuprofen tablets from the State hospital and also an infusion of cannabis flower heads with honey and hot water, left to steep until I remember it, then poured through a strainer or a sieve into a plastic bottle and popped in the fridge to get cold. I take about 450 ml before I go to sleep.

 

Does it work for me? I am sure that it does.

 

Will it work for you? I truly have no idea, but it may.
