Thanks all. An update. I was prescribed indomethan anti inflammatory which I only take when necessary. I have been cleared to start exercise by my rheumatologist team. I can also do some running as long as I don't push through pain. I still cannot squat right down if I need to pick something up. So do appear to be recovering but may be some months to a full recovery. Rheumatologist thinks no permanent damage to my knees. I dodged a bullet re eyesight. Was told I could have gone blind if I didn't go to emergency when I did.
There is still the risk of ongoing symptoms or relapses so will take it a day at a time. Cheers all. Scott
