Hi all, first time poster. I am a 51 year old male. I fell at work in late march of 2019. I had surgery to repair a torn Meniscus from the fall. After the surgery the doctor told me I had arthritis that he scraped out during the surgery. I never knew I had arthritis until after the surgery. Approximately six weeks after the surgery I was in steadily growing more pain in September I asked the doctor for the second MRI which showed bone on bone. I’ve had two Cortizone shots since October 2019. On Sunday I traveled to a city about about 2 1/2 hours away from my home I stayed in the city for about three hours and then turned around and drove the 2 1/2 hours back home. When I got out of the vehicle at home I can hardly walk pain so intense I have had this pain since Sunday. I am due to be fitted for a brace and my surgeon is checking to see if my insurance will pay for gel shots. Has anybody else felt this intense pain that comes out of nowhere? My surgeon is taking the track of telling me I need the replacement, but he will not tell me when, he’s telling me is that for me to decide I’m very confused.
