I just got back from my doc's office. No surprise I have arthritis in my knee. He told me I was blessed to have early arthritis in my spine, hip and knee. We discussed the probability of it all being caused by my hypopituitarism as hormones have been very deficient for a long time.
I heard the words from him that it was not caused by all my running!!
Anyway I got corisone shot # 2 in the knee. He said under the kneecap was very deficient in cartilage and I have a large bone? cyst. He said he was not sure what the outcome of arthroscopic surgery would be with a cyst that size.
He did not want to have the surgery conversation with me until my hip is pretty recovered and my quad muscles are stronger. Also all the hip muscles.
He did ask me what hurt more , my back, recovering hip or knee. Good question.
He also gave me a brochure on Hyalgan. Now I am seeking info from the experts on these injections. He did say I may not want to go that way, but just to learn about it.
I am going back to see him in 2 weeks
Oh, you knee people and Josephine are the experts!!!
What experience have you guys had with large knee cysts and hyalgan?
Thanks
Judy
