Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 , He said that it MAY work. I can be pain free for about a year or long or it may not work then he would do knee replacement and a lot had to do with my age but I told him am 51 that is getting old. he is young DR but he said I was not ready for the knee replacement but my knee is big then a grapefruit .. Take care.. Lucy Lucy, what does the doctor hope to accomplish by this surgery? What is his diagnosis?~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 , I think I would like to have the knee replacement and get it over cuz he said that the arthroscopic will or will not work and to me if it doesn't work I'll be put though all the pain for nothing. In Dec I had my knuckle replace and that was very painful but well worth it. I'm doing great with my fingers. So tomorrow again I will see him and I don't care what he does just as long as he takes the pain & I could walk good, I'll be happy. God Bless. Lucy Lucy, Trust me, I will be here to help you as much as I can. Everyone reacts differently to knee surgery, so I guess I was only trying to prepare you incase you have a tough time. Do you have anyone who can help you get around? Please stay in touch, where are you from?~lucyoo1@... wrote: , He said that it MAY work.
