Yep, that’s my leg. After an ultrasound to make sure I didn’t have a blood clot, they wrapped me in a knee immobilizer, called in a prescription for an anti-inflammatory , told me to follow up with my ortho and sent me on my way.
A little back story. I’ve already had two surgeries on this knee. There is basically no cartilage left between the bones. On a high note, I can predict when it will snow and rain.
I will be MIA for a bit. I’ll try to get to comments when I can.
Have a great week ahead!

Ugh, I don’t want to hear that! Your new knee is sure giving you a rough time. And the left one, too? At least my right one is ok, for now…

I had my 6 month checkup with the surgeon a couple days ago. The knee is ok and healing, but he said it can take 6 moths to a year to fully heal. I’ve had 2 arthroscopic surgeries on my left knee and it’s gonna have to be done too.

I know they don’t like to do the replacement too young. Ric had several scopes and injections before giving in. He was bone on bone, having blown his knee in a skiing accident as a young man. Sorry you are going through this. Sucks (not very poetic, but true.)
