Re: candida and surgery?

[Guest guest]

I've had that surgery on both knees but for something other than a

tear. I now know I could have fixed the problem I had with working on

other areas like my hips and quadriceps muscles etc. My knees still

bother me now and from what I've heard I am more likely to have

arthritis in my knees later on, but I do not know for sure. It is

possible to have knots in other muscles which cause pain in your knees,

but like I said I did not have a tear.

Good luck.

I go to physical therapy for my back, and have been there at the same

time as a woman I used to know way back. She was having therapy post

surgery for a meniscal tear--her second surgery. She said she was in as

much pain as before, and she told me bitterly that surgery is NOT the

answer.

She said she felt that if she had just continued with the PT she was

Rx'd before the first surgery she would have been better off.

She is but one example. I have met other people who have had knee

surgery and ended up no better or even worse. But I have also met others

for whom it was very successful. So I ended up feeling it is one of

those things where you pay your money and take your chances.

That's scary. They don't fix the tear, they just clean up the stuff

around it than can be irritating. But with all the candida symptoms

the pain is diffuse and hard to tell if it would go away with the

stuff cleaned up.

Thanks everyone for your answers to my questions.
