I'm pretty sure that's a fuckin dudeThis should help....vodka for pain and Bullock to distract you haha
That's what they told me about both of my knees. It feels like they pop out of and back in to joint...the pain can be minor or to the point of almost passing out...everything turns gray for a short period of time, then back to just pain until it subsides.
Did they do a MRI? Meniscal injuries are easily diagnosed with imaging. With non-traumatic meniscal injuries, many are managed non-surgically. I would say, given the pain, you should obtain a second opinion. I see these fairly commonly and a GOOD physical exam is paramount in making a shared medical decision with your provider.
My 84 ear old neighbor just had knee replacement and he's walking great.
Yes, I've had two MRIs done, last time was before I retired for the military, Kimbrough Army Med Center has a good Physical Therapy department, not convinced the rest of it is that good. Until they give out on me or it starts happening more often I'm not fawking with them.
Sounds like its time to find a real doctor.
Well, military docs, so...pretty much.Sounds like its time to find a real doctor.
Does your current doc look like this guy?
Hopefully you claimed as a VA disability
the military owns all my musculoskeletal injuries, I never let them slide on it. I guess working in that field, I tend to burn a fire under their butts when they give me the run around. I generally keep my mouth shut that I'm a medical professional until they start feeding me BS.
I tried to, my knee problems are well documented in my medical records, when I went to the VA for my disability physical (what ever it's called), I couldn't reproduce the problem, so they denied my claim. They gave me 10% for hearing, and 10% for my back, 20 years of documentation on my back was only good enough for 10%, even though I went though physical therapy off and on for that long. I guess only 10-15 visits for my knees didn't cut it...Hopefully you claimed as a VA disability
That's bullshit. I would get a VSO or VA-specialized lawyer involved. The exam guidelines are clear for VA rating.
Real doctor here
no, no, no....that old Henny Youngman joke goes:"
Do knee circles everyday . While standing . Legs together . put hand on each side of your knee's . In sets. rotate in circular motion each direction .
