I lost about 25lbs. after the stem cell transplant and it has been hard gaining it back. My joints ache in the morning and I'm low on energy but I never realized how bad my knee's are. I went out to put some air in a couple tires on my truck after they went low in a really cold spell we just had. Of course the valve stem was right at the bottom on the 1st tire. I cleared the snow away from the valve stem but had to kneel down in the snow to attach the inflator. When I went to get up I could barely move and almost had to yell for my partner to come and help me get up. I had almost no strength in my legs and my knee's just ached. It was like my knee's were locked in place and I couldn't straighten them. I have to be careful not to fall. I might not be able to get up.
