knee issues and hospital wait lists
The story
what do you think is coursing my knee pain.?
as it doesn't seem to be gettin any better.and it is effected by the weather .
I am eating on physio but the doctors aty go won't help me and won't give me the pain killers that I know work..so I'm left take medication that don't always work and I'm actually taking more that I should be to just be I a little bit less pain.

Points of view
not a doctor, but sounds like it might be arthritis if the weather impacts it??? my mom had similar issues and swore by joint supplements like glucosamine, though she always said it's important to not overdo them, haha; kind of weird that your doc is being stingy with pain meds. maybe see if you can get a second opinion? sometimes those GPs are just too focused on avoiding prescriptions they forget about patient comfort...
i kind of think maybe you should try other treatment options have you considered seeing another specialist? (even in another town, another state... who knows) it sounds like you're struggling and the pain is getting in the way of enjoying your daily life. sometimes it's worth seekin' a second opinion, esp if ur current doctors are not listening.
