The KNEEEE!!!

I went to the doctor about two weeks ago for the knee bursitis. I got steroids, a anti-imlfammatory, and a couple days off work to rest it. Unfortunately, pretty much as soon as I was done with the steroids, the swelling went right back up. Last Friday after increasing knee pain I called the doctor. Today I went in and got about ten shots ( Read more... )

You know if I ever did lose a leg I would totally set up some kind of halloween thing to showcase it. Maybe a monster tearing off the leg with blood spurting everywhere. Or a shark, or some kind of industrial accident.

Damn you, I really shouldn't be thinking this way.

Talk to the doc about synvisc (Hyaluronan acid). It is a set of three shots of basically purified rooster coomb. Doing this once a year has kept me out of surgery for 5 years.

You make my knee hurt just reading this. My deepest empathy.

Replacing a knee at your age is something to put off for later. I was told by my friend that had her first knee removed at about your age.
