I hate my knee!!! - - Posted by Jennie82 (Jennie82), 6 January 2005

Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to give an update after my fall!

I went to the OS and the bad news is I am not eligible after all for the Unispacer because my OA has gotten so much worse! Its totally ate away the lateral part of the knee and I also founf out that I have a bad case of bursitis on top of that!

Sooo....I got 2 cortisone injections and had it drained and was put on yet more meds!

Anyway I will talk to you all soon..hope you all are having pain free knee days!!

Love,Jennie

I am supposed to go back every six months until its been 18 months at which time I will have my TKR...at 22!!! What a life!!

Sorry I am just really depressed right now...he said that my knee looks like a 70 year old! LOVELY!
