some of the members here that have been around awhile know ive got problems with my knees, have had 3 surgeries between the two aswell as a dozen large needles jammed in to deposit meds.....basically i lack the notch in my femur where the knee cap is supposed to ride and my knee cap just goes where ever it feels like and has destroyed most the cartilage in my knees.....have been taking opiate pain meds for them since i was 18, daily for bout half that time....the knee issues is what lead to me bulging a disk in my back and having surgery to fix it back in Sept......basically im 29 and am close to having bone on bone in my right knee have a lil more in the left and am a walking barometer more sensitive than anything NOAA has....
have had two "local" knee docs tell me there is nothing to do short of total knee replacement and i should wait as long as possible before doing that, ideally another 26 years, not likely gonna happen.....first week of January i head over to see the sports medicine department at the University of Washington Hospital in Seattle for a third opinion.....have read enough that im bout willing to bet $100 they are gonna tell me the same thing the other two have but would like to hear it again before proceeding with the next step....
