I can’t find a Dr to help me with a knee replacement as I am only 38. I’ve been to two. The second one seemed more willing to help me, he told me that I would be the one to let him know when it’s time for surgery. Today, I let him know.
My breaking point was not being able to attend my daughters field trip to the museum because I can’t walk without extreme pain and buckling. His nurse called me back and wants to try injections and therapy to “stretch” this as long as possible.
I’m just unable to live my life and I have 6 children that I would like to be an active mom to. I am just tired of “stretching” this out and I want new knees. Am I being unreasonable to want to skip past “therapy”? What is the point when I have no cartilage? This is not an injury. (I have severe osteoarthritis and both knees are bone on bone).
Did I read somewhere in here that there is a list of Drs who are willing to work with people like me? I’m so discouraged, I cried all the way home.
