li had more x Rays done it shown more deteriation in the knee, he wants to operate again then try injections every 4 month, he said if he was seeing a 70 year old with the pictures from my last op he could understand it but not in a 46 year old, that's how bad it is,
He wants to try all avenues before a knee replacement as I will need another in my 50's and then my 60's, he said to do it a second time involved knocking the cement out possible damage to the bones then doing bone grafts ,
I went my gp this morning got stronger painkillers if these don't help the next step is morphine , that scared me a bit ,
That's the thing isn't it , waiting for appointments, think this is a 18 week waiting list but my sister works in day theatres do she knows all the consultants as she in orthopaedic clinic, so she will try and get it done quicker

Ah poor you I really feel for you hun :fingerscrossed: it gets sorted and very soon.
My Kelly is on morphine for her shoulders, waiting for her 4th and hopefully final op on them, she says it's great, but now says she can't take any other painkillers as they have no effect on her.
Nothing worse than waiting for these appointments, I think it has to be a good 3 months since we sent for the appt and now I have to wait till beginning of June...I guess I am getting seen and that's the important thing.
I'll keep everything crossed for you hun that they find a way of easing your pain :bighug: xxxx

Oh Von, that's a lot for you to take in I'm sure and doubt you're looking forward to another op and treatment but I've been told similar re a knee replacement and I'm six years older than you. We have different causes to our painful knees but no doubt the pain is similar so I sympathise.
Meantime, good to see you're doing well on the food and drinking this week. Take care hun xx

I know , he told me I'm definetly looking at a knee replacement and he says it will be in my 50's, ,
I'm not feeling too bad ATM but I know when my date comes through as it gets closer I will be just as scared as last time , at least this time I won't be off as long with being able to work upto my date ,
This is giving me more motivation to stick to plan as I am just short of 1 1/2 St heavier than when I had my last op , I'm disgusted to admit ,
