{"text":"Today was my appointment to see the orthopedic surgeon about my left knee. He said the mri shows I've got a torn meniscus, which we knew, arthritis, and degenerative something. I'm almost to bone on bone but my options aren't good. Gave me three. First is to go in and remove the rear but would only fix the issue for a bit. Second is to drill in the bone and stretch the tear into so it will hold and heal. Said 15 yr old would have 80% chance of it healing and I'd have a slim chance. Third is have partial knee replacement but said I'm too young for it. There cking with insurance to see if they'll approve a brace, that looks like you'd buy it at Walmart for $20, that cost just over $1000 that will push on one side of the knee to hopefully help with the pain. I've been able to drive now for several weeks but still have pain. Not sure what's going to happen but I see him again in 8 wks to see how it's doing.","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Hello Adam smasher.\nHere might be a tip worth considering. I was and orthopedic RN, for 37 years, and as far as the torn medial meniscus, perhaps just have the torn park snipped out and removed, that is something that I had done with myself, many years ago, and, never had any complications from it at all.\nInjections of corticosteroids, provide immediate pain relief, but only for a short period of time, such as weeks.\nHyaluronic acid, is another injection, that works remarkably well, it is a series of 3 to 5 injections, given one to three weeks apart, my wife had these done several years ago to both of her knees and she’s been trouble free for several years now.\nOf course, lifestyle changes, are a big help to begin with, such as weight loss, physical therapy, or just being more active, because trucking is a fairly sedate way of life, Physically speaking.\nBut I think what I would do first, are the lifestyle changes, in a permanent way, and then start off with the corticosteroids, to give immediate relief.\nAnd then just have the surgeons cut out that tear and you might be good to go!\nGood luck!","replyToPid":0}

","text":"I had the issue before I went full time trucking. Before I went full time I was active and moving a lot. I'm thinking I messed it awhile ago and it's just kept getting worse and worse. I should've seen an orthopedic doctor instead of relying on my family doctor when the pain first started.","replyToPid":405142}
