On a personal note, my wife had a knee blowout Tuesday morning. She had an emergency visit to the ortho Dr and is relying heavily on a cane to walk. We have an MRI scheduled in the morning in the Woodlands. I think the Dr suspects a torn meniscus. Follow up Dr visit is Tues.
Oh, my. How did she do that? My right knee got so bad, I was using a cane so the leg wouldn’t collapse, and went to surgeon and said fix it whatever you have to do. He went into the knee and cleaned arthritic crap out and also found my knee cap was out of place. I had fallen some time before that and landed on that knee and must have pushed the knee cap out of its groove.
It’s okay now as long as I don’t walk a long way. I try to move my foot if I change direction instead of causing the knee to twist - pain comes if I do that and can last for days.
Well, she will have to do whatever is necessary to get it to work without pain. My knee was so painful, I was willing to rip the skin off myself, just stop the pain.
