Not looking forward to my surgery because having been through this 1and 1/2 years ago
having been told then that I didn’t need a total knee surgery. It would have been great but after such a long time of pain, complications and it never feeling good I got a second opinion . The orthopedic dr. doing my surgery said that he is very selective regarding who would be a good candidate for a partial knee replacement and seemed to indicate that it is not me. He said I would continue having problems with this knee if I don’t have the surgery. I was just so hopeful the first time around, worked hard at pt, and found the recovery so painful now here we go again! July 29th coming up soon.
