Hi,
I am a 34 yr old woman. I have had 3 Arthroscopic procedures on my knee. This problem has been going on for 20yrs. Almost 21 yrs. I have been in pain at least 3 times a week. OTC meds don't seem to be working very well. I am at the point of just wanting to rip my knee out to stop some of the pain. I don't sleep very well at night due to the pain.
I do have an appointment for and MRI on Friday Sept. 14 and Orthopedic Dr appointment on Wednesday the 19th. But my question is in your opinion as a nurse would knee replacement be an option for me?
