I went to see a new knee Dr this week. I had to see a specialist who has done the kind of work I have had done to my knee. The last operation was a resurfacing of the patella and femur. It is very highly specialized surgery so didn't make sense to see a regular orthopod.
So...He had me do some blood work to check for infection. If there is no infection...and there is no reason to believe that I do but you never know, looks like another surgery on the left knee.
Yup, that would make surgery number 10 on the left.
The knee isn't tracking as smooth as it should over these artificial pieces so he wan't to go in and take a look at what's going on. It is not really anything that can be done with an MRI, oh well. If there is damage to the new parts it looks like I would be set for a total knee replacement. Not something I am looking forward to by any means. Wayyyy tooo young. I guess I will find out when I see him again next week.
Let's see
1984 arthroscopy L knee
1987 arthroscopy L knee
1990 arthroscopy L knee and open ACL replacement
1994 arthroscopy L knee
1996 arthroscopy L knee
1997 2nd ACL replacement via arthroscope
1997 arthroscopy L knee
2003 arthroscopy L knee
2004 patella femoral arthroplasty (resurfacing) L knee
UGH!!!
