Aimee... total loss of reflex in ankle and knee? My guess is that you are going to wind up with surgery soon... you need to understand your options about minimally invasive surgeries vs. traditional open surgeries... even the same type of surgery can differ greatly from one doc to the next. Also, you need to understand what you may graduate to if you don't have a long-term positive outcome. There is a lot that goes into making an informed decision... you have a lot of homework to do.
