Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 as you know I was going to have surgery after the first of the year to get knee replacements. Well I went to a dr on Friday for a second opinion to try and get something else not as drastic there is a video on the link to watch if you want to. http://www.conformis.com/Patients/ConforMIS-Patient-Specific-Implants/iTotal-Tri\ compartmental-Knee-Resurfacing-Device they took x-rays and said it will take the mri to make sure because I my knee cap is in bad shape it has a spur growing out of it but he has done 30 of these surgery and had to redo 7 to total knee replacement. He is concerned about my health and doing a replacement right now. So I will have the mri just to make sure if I can't or can't do the easy one (conformis). So before I knew what was going on he shot both my knees up and said it would give me almost immediate relief. Well it did my knees are just sore from the shot. I said how often can i have those he said as I need them but because of the blood sugar's I need to watch it and sure enough yesterday blood sugar was 210 but this morning they were back down to 129 which is still a little high. Hubby likes this dr better and so do i so I think we are going to stick with him and not do the worse right now. See how long these shots last he said it would depend on what I do. I said well that's the point I want to be able to do something not just sit. So it's going to be a wait and see again. I will call and cancel the surgery for now. He just thinks I should get better health first and that they make the knees better and better each year so if I could wait a year or so if I can't have the conformis.
