Dear Robin and Sally!
Knee pain is something I sure can realate to! I had arthroscopic knee sugery
over a week ago. I have had problems with my right knee since I was in the
10th grade. It got to where I couldn't walk on it and hurt all the time! They
couldn't find anything on the MRI. Sound familiar? LOL So they went in to
take a peek. Wasn't good. I had a torn meniscus and a disease called
chondromalacia, which is a softening of the bone. This was found on my
femoral condyl. I am still in much pain! .I have no ankle bones to speak of
due to the swelling. So I am hobbling around on crutches. Today is my post op
visit. Curious to know if they found any adhesions in there since this was
the fourth surgery on that knee. I used to go once a year and get a steroid
shot in my knee and it was great, better than taking oral steroids. Last shot
didn't work, in fact made the problem worse. So I am sending hugs and kisses
your way! I know how it feels! Wishing you pain free days all over!
