Sigh...!! - leeman - 04-20-2010
Some times I hate the medical system ...
1
t They decided to postpone the surgery due to the new MRI2:nd They just told me that the knee replacement parts will wear out in like 15-20 years and then (with todays technology) they can't be replaced again.
3:d They will make the Synovectomy in two weeks but will last (the orthopedics words) "In best case two months" ...
It's starting to sound like I might as well start looking at sick leave... permanently ...

Sucks.

Look at the bright side. At the rate you're wearing out you probably won't live another 15 or 20 years.

Oh, I thought this was going to be more bitching about the two bozos wrecking the forum.
Might as well put Bird on suicide watch if lee shuts this place down.
Good luck honcho.

Last two posts were pretty classy.
Lee what if they hold off on doing your knees for a while?Like a few years.Can you not walk right now or what?
Sigh...!! - who - 04-20-2010
sorry to hear that, try to keep your spirits up and alcohol level down

Wow, that blows! But 15-20 years of somewhat improved health is better than constant suffering now, isn't it?? Is there some sort of disability you can get onto to help with not being able to work?

Walking is painful and running is out of the question.
Can't put any extra weight on the knees (carry stuff).
What we still need to do is find a medication that works and lowers / stops the inflammations I have in all my joints.
And if the inflammations keep eating at my joints they will disintegrate and start more pains and shit ..
In a kinda status quo atm until they find working meds too.

Yeah, that's what they wanna do with the synovectomies ... give more time to see if we can find meds that work ... Next step is new knees ...
I will most likely get a 50% disability lay off soon and I might aim for 100% and move to Thailand or Mexico...

Hopefully these next meds they put you on won't be mixed with alcohol. Ahem.
Sounds like a shitty deal but you've gotta play with the hand you're dealt... good luck to ya!
