Knees.....baker cyst........Lea.......

[Guest guest]

Sweet Lea ~

In 1999, I had knee surgery. Prior to that my knee

was very bum, very swollen, front and back, and a

real pain in the knee, I mean ass.

I had a bakers cyst due to a meniscus that was

shreaded down to hamburger meat, due to a nasty

case of osteo-arthritis. I had been putting heat on it

as it felt so soothing, but my orthapedic surgeon told

me that heat caused inflammation and swelling although

it was soothing, but that ice is what it needed as it would

shrink the swelling and reduce the inflammation. He was

one of the top sports medicine orthapedics here in town.

His recommendations were exactly correct. Ice helped it

more than anything. When he did my surgery, the meniscus

was not repairable, so he cleaned out my knee, and threw

it out. Then he shaved my bones in there because the

osteo-arthritis had badly freyed the bones in my knees,

and that is what chewed up my meniscus, the freyed bones.

After shaving the bones, he closed my knee up. So, now

I am unfortunate to have a bone on bone knee. When

Arthur Ritis is visiting, it makes it very difficult to walk

using my left knee. They told me that my right knee also

needs the surgery, and it was actually worse than the left

one, but at the time wasnt hurting me, and so I only had the

one knee done.

No way in haedes will I ever have knee surgery again.

I rather have ground meniscus than no pad at all.

I wonder how much all those chemicals in the silicone is

causeing my horrible osteoporosis, and osteo-arthritis.

I am sure quite responsible ~

Please use ice, it will help.....heat feels good, but can

worsen the inflammation.......The bakers cyst comes and

goes in my right knee......
