Pat's Knee Problems

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone: I have not posted in awhile tho I have been trying to

keep up with reading the emails everyday. About 2 months ago I fell

getting out of the bed of my pickup.......falling onto my left knee

and twisting the right..........when it did not get better, I saw an

ortho who ordered an mri for each knee. I just got the results. I

have a torn meniscus in my left knee and too much to mention going

on with my right one. I have a prior torn ACL in right knee that

was never repaired.............I see the ortho again on 5-11 to

discuss the results............well needless to say........along

with the usual aches and pains we put up with everyday, now I have

this!!!! I have been waking almost every night in pain with the

knee thing.........and living on pain pills just to get thru the

day,...........oh I forgot to mention I am also having pain up my

leg into my hip....and butt area............and the ortho said that

might be a disc but he just deals with knees which I have to get

fixed before I can get back checked out...........

Well enuf of my whining..............thanks for listening and hope

everyone is having a pain free day,.........

Gentle Hugs to all

Pat in So Ore.
