Yesterday was the final Hyalgan shot of 5. The pain management Dr and I knew that the shots weren't working after the 3rd one, but we had to get through the series. Shots 4 & 5 were the worst, even with my knee numbed with Lidocaine. So it is back to my OS on 12/8 and hopefully, we will be discussing the next step then. My Pain Management Dr is highly suggesting TKR. She says I will be much better off just getting it done so I can move forward with my life. It's been a stressful few weeks between that and having to go to a WC Hearing to determine my degree of disability. OS says 100% and the IME said 50%. Judge found it at 75% and told me to get a handicapped tag for my car. The limitations that I have are really becoming old for a person who was very active and has a job that is physically demanding with no light duty available.
