Knee update

Well I saw orthopaedic surgeon this week and I have damage from my numerous falls (last one 10 days ago ). But I have vascular damage too, so he is going to operate to repair damage and try to improve blood supply.

My rheumatologist has increased my AZ today and is recommending B12 supplementation too. So I'm having a bit of an overhaul.

RubyTuesday2, I can sympathise with you, I have a knee that looks like that after a fall onto concrete nearly month ago.

Fortunately, only very bad bruising, the synovial fluid has leaked into the leg from the knee joint, it's taking time to recover, I have injured my rotator cuff in my shoulder and sprained my ankle.

Hope your overhaul goes ok.
