knee surgery

[MikeTLive]

the docs dont want to do surgery cause even arthroscopic causes damage while they are in there.

They will post pone and delay until you are 50 before they do a knee replacement. Just be cause they dont want to do it.

My wife has gone through 4 arthro's. each time trimmed back torn medial miniscus (cartilege) her knee grinds, pops, and locks.

it swells up like a balloon.

She completed 6 weeks of cartilege replacement shotts about a month ago and is limping just the same if not more.

The docs dont want to do replacement cause of her age.
F That!

Keep yer chin up and keep looking for 2nd and 3rd opinions.
do NOT take the first one and live with it. And if the sole reason for no repair is age tell em to pound sand!!

keep asking questions.
start a journal and write down everything you do that makes it hurt more, or hurt less, or does nothing. Write down the weather too. (weather knees are for real)

I am very aggressive when it comes to my own health. I wish my wife was the same with hers. Some day perhapse.
