At the end of September 2024, my friend and I went from Krasnodar to Goryachy Klyuch by bicycle, the route was 100 km, of which 90 is a highway with large differences of several hundred meters, and the remaining 10 is a mountainous forest and dirt. In addition, we also walked about a kilometer uphill at a large angle. It was a novelty for us - to go to another city by bicycle, already on the approach to the city we saw the Caucasus mountains, Fisht Oshten and Pshekha-Su on the horizont like mirage , we saw beautiful places, a huge stone wall , a quiet autumn forest , rivers and listened to the beautiful singing of birds. From one realization, I was shocked that we got there calmly and without incident. The first problems began when we were riding to the railway station, my knee began to hurt a little when pedaling. We somehow made it to the train and got on, rode for about an hour and a half, slept from fatigue. But when I got off the train, I was simply paralyzed with pain, it hurt so much to walk, if only you knew... Overcoming the pain, we rode quickly to the house, about 14 km. Then I temporarily postponed cycling. My knees hurt when I put weight on them. I went to the city traumatology department, they took an X-ray, said that the bone was intact and there was no need to worry, prescribed some ointment and sent me on my way. It did not help. Then I went to another rheumatologist, she prescribed many things and prescribed many things, in the end it was no use, it was already December, I go to the traumatologist, he predicts injections in my knees (they give them to old people), prescribes some expensive injections, and they do not help. I go to a doctor with the best reviews, this devil runs around me and measures my feet, and then sends me away after the appointment, prescribing me shock wave therapy, which is expensive. Then I go to a state doctor who treats for a fee and helped my mother. I thought that he would definitely help, yeah, that will not happen. They shook so much money out of me and my family. Recently the disease progressed to the hip and shoulder joints, I don’t know why... Recently I went to a doctor at a free regional clinic, he sounds the most convincing of all and cannot extract any benefit from us for his institution. I will be seeing him only in a month, but when I walk, my pelvis and knees already hurt only when I walk. I was already thinking that, well, I went through several types of treatment and it seems like my knees are getting better, but one day everything went down the drain, from this my spirit fell so much that the thought of non-existence became calming, and it began to repeat itself more than once. I kind of moved away from the thought, my sister arrived, which I haven't seen for 3 years. I'm about to get a job from a friend, and for some reason I feel calm today, 2 weeks until exams, and I'm not worried, although it's strange. Okay, what was I talking about... Maybe someone has dealt with joint diseases? Maybe someone can tell me something?
