Oh dear, Denise I'm not surprised. We go with expectations of them helping us & told no can do. So what do they suggest you do, the other knee too?

I cannot have new knees either cos of a torsion. Point is new knees do not always work, they are not suited to everyone. Even in pain, keep what you have whilst you can, even if it causes you pains. Then work on what you have. Lift both legs and down when sitting. Then one leg at a time just three times each. Ok agony at first but I have found it gets easier. Now I cannot be you, so this is just what I do plus my Tai chi. I am just being positive at what I found for me. May not suit you but sending hugs.

A wonderful physio has helped to keep my ravaged knees stable. Exercise and manipulation. I will eventually have to have replacements but at moment have other things to sort out first with ra. If you can find one who is good that can really help. My knees aren't up to taiji at present but I'd really recommend it. Gentle though!

Thanxs Cathie see what happens after mri xx

Do not feel bad. I had fallen 3 different times and had three surgeries for meniscus tears. Unfortunately, this time I fell on a cracked sidewalk and injured my knee AGAIN.

I have another appointment with my doctor. I am not looking forward to going for an MRI if he does send me for another. Because I have had 3 pulmonary embolisms, I hope I do not need surgery---BUT I have not even seen the doctor. so, try no to think the worst!,,!,,,!,,,,,!,,
