Hi all,
I hope you all is having a good night.I am hanging in there.News on my app.Well,it doesnt look to good.Looks like I will be off of work for a long while.The Orthopdiec said that Hes not so much worried about the screw being loose in my knee,well,He says its not even loose.He is more worried about the Arthitis taking over both of my knees,if I dont have Surgey,I wont be able to walk.My knees are to far gone,meaning the Arthitis is really,really bad in both of my knees.He wants me to make an app with John Hopkins,yup.He says,I am in a really bad shape,that He cant do anything about it and thereapy is out of the question.I did tell Him I have been in so much pain,to the point were I am crying myself to sleep.But He is a good Doctor and He gave me a strong pain killer,that I never even heard of before.I will get that tommrow.I told Him I was taking Tyonal 3,but it didnt help one bit.My Mom was with me in the room.So,I just wanted to tell you al whats going on.I will make the app tommrow for john Hopkins.We will go from there.Thank you all for being there for me.He said if I dont get this taken care of,I wont be able to walkI love you all.Be safe and warm out there.Peaceout.

I know it seems really scary Amanda, but you are finally going to do something to help with the problem. I know I'm a lot older than you, but I have had both my knees replaced due to Osteoarthritis. It's not a fun surgery but the end result (walking without pain) is totally worth it. You hang in there.
Hugs, Joyce
Awwwww Mandy, keeping you in my prayers, Hugs Lisa
sounds like it now is time for you to get to social security to apply for disability.so sorry you have all this pain ..hope they can help soon.bless you.... Sue
I am glad that you found out what is really wrong with you. I know a lot of older people that have gotten the artifical knees and hips. They seem to do pretty good after a while. One lady said she was so glad to get her shoulder operated on. Soon you won't be hurting. That is just too much pain. Will be keeping you in my prayers. Hugs, Janie
Glad you finally have an answer....
