Things I'm mad about today

I've had off and on issues since I broke it, but the past week has been horrible. Limping bad, bad pain, especially after sitting, so I made appointment. Only xrays this morning, but bunch of fluid, and he said what cartilage I had left was shot. Gonna do an mri next week, possibly might help just draining the fluid, but he said good chance may have to do more. He recommended no shot, because it can actually cause more issues with cartilage, so he gave me a steroid pill fir now. 😪

The orthopedic guy tried to drain fluid off my knee years ago. Most pain I have ever felt. And the fuid had been there so long it wasn't really fluid anymore. More like gel. Arthroscopic surgery and was perfect.

Yeah, i don't like the idea of either, but will likely have to do something. After sitting, it hurts like heck to move it to walk. Hopefully the steroids help for a while

When did you break it? Sounds painful! My aunt and dad are currently going through knee issues.

At my old job about 8-9 years ago. Tore most of my cartilage then, dr said it'd eventually blow out, hopefully it's not at that point. It left some nerve damage, but this pain has been different. Did your dad, or aunt have injuries, or just wear over the years?

My dad injured it with doing a stupid lateral move with his personal trainer. He already had knee issues, and it was not an exercise he should have been given. He had to have surgery in September or October, and is still recovering. We were in Charleston this weekend, and I think there is improvement since Christmas, but I think he could be doing better, at least my mom thinks so.

My aunt tripped over the gas pump, and has an mri tomorrow.
