. I'll have them fixed someday.

Go now! The latest federal study showed that" Total Knee Replacements "REDUCE mobility..seems they divided the people that needed knee replacments into two groups..both groups BELIEVED that they had the surgery but actuallu only 1/2 did

After one year the ones with the "fake " surgery were more mobile and more pain free and better able to climb stairs..

Go to an arthritis specialist ..they now have a procedure where they inject a fluid into the space in the knee it then cushion and preserves the bone and joint...the longer you let it go the worse it will get ......(ask me about it sometime:>)

Now that I am back working again, I have the insurance. I should kick in next month. I planned on getting to my doctor since I've noticed some instability in my left knee that I want to have checked out. Same knee I had an MRI on which supposedly showed nothing. I get swelling from time to time in both, it usually goes away overnight, but it does reduce mobility.

I'm a bit of a wreck.
