Hi Dale,
Yes i have had knee surgery too. Cleaning out the joint and microfracture to try to grow some new cartilage. It worked pretty good. I do sometimes have knee pain, but i think the combo of the surgery and all my down time with surgery on my spine has made it much better.
All morning my other big toe was hurting too. Now this is not even funny for me.!!!!
I had my pre op appointment with my primary today so i am on my way once more. The hip pain i haVe is still intense when trying to get up off an exam table. I can't get straight up, i have to roll on my left side first.
It is related to the spine and not my new hip. My doc is trying one more time with injections on Wednesday before taking care of it in surgery. I still think it is coming from the screws at L2 as i woke up with this pain after my September surgery on T2-L2.
Oh well who thought middle age would be so challenging, not me that's for sure
Judy
