Knee and More Knee

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, well, I am still dealing with no being able to see out of my right

eye, which I still think was done somehow in the hospital. The cornea is still

swollen and many scratches on the lens. First available appt with the eye

specialist is November. After this I suffered with sciatica which has just

started to simmer down. My left knee replacement is really great. Then, about 2

weeks ago my right knee (replaced 7 yrs ago) started paining and got to the

point where whenever I stood up, Don had to help me as the pain is intolerable.

Saw my GP today and he thinks I have a screw loose LOL-------only kidding. He

thinks the prosthesis's is drifting and sent me for an x-ray. By a stroke of

good luck the ortho that did the replacement surgery 7 years ago will see me at

the fracture clinic Monday morning. Anyone know what procedure is done to fix

this? Do I really want to know? Monday night at 9pm I am going for a cat scan

since the resperologist is discounting everything the hospital reported and

believes it is the RA in my lungs. During this fun time,I decided to go back on

small doses of MTX to see if this along with my Enbrel will help the RA. He also

started me on Melcoxib since Bextra is not available. Ten days later my feet and

legs swelled to triple in size. Started taking the " P " pill after getting off

this med and the next day fluid was running out of my right foot where I had

just had a Kenelog shot in my ankle. I am really hoping that I can get back to

my PP's teaching in September.

I can't post often because of this eye problem but I think of you all every day.

Hugs

June
