    Recovery Question

    Hi to all those I have chatted with before. I am not on here much at all, but thought I would drop by tonight. But wow guys, don't worry and don't compare yourself with anyone else. Just as no two snow flakes are a like. No two bodies are a like. I never pushed myself, I listen to my body...

    Fusion Long ride to a successful Fusion

    Want If you don't want the nerve block don't have it. You need to go to a new OS and see about that knee and see if you really have RSD. I have read all your post and you really need to be looking for a new OS one in another town and not connected with your OS in any way. If you have...

    Really sore and sensitive skin on my knee

    The sensitive around the scar area is normal. This can be around any scar not just knee, etc. I am 9 months out and sometimes mine feels a little sensitive. You just need to keep massaging it and it also helps if you will take a wash cloth I use to wet mine and do the massage with it. It...

    Knee Manipulation challenges
