Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I just wanted to update everyone on how things went with my arthroscopy on 1/6/04. I knew my knee was bad but it was worse than I thought. I have to admit that I didn't catch or understand all my doctor said. I did however understand that there was a lot of inflamed tissue that he removed and sent some to pathology to check for RA. He did say that some of what he saw was indicative of RA but I'll wait until the results are back. He also said that there was a lot of damage and that if I still continue to have problems with this knee he would recommend a partial knee replacement. I will be seeing him on 1/15 to have my stitches taken out and then he will show me the pictures taken of inside my knee and better explain what he found. All and all I am doing just fine. I have basically put my crutches down and can bear most of my weight on my knee. I hope I'm not overdoing it but I don t want it to get stiff or lose any range of motion in it. I will however, be glad when this bandage comes off....it's hot under there and the bandage keeps slipping down some. hugs, Bev in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
