Finally a doctor that will fix my knee! (painful, surgery, ache)

[molochai2580]

Well, I had to go to TX to find one, but I finally found a surgeon who will fix my knee! YAY! I will be out of work for about 6-8 weeks, and will have to have screws removed around 6 months later, but my knee won't hurt anymore. I have a tentative date for surgery on June 30th, but it'll depend on if my husband can take the vacation that early or not.

I had a super knee surgeon here who did an acl reconstruction with a cadaver ligament and absorbable screws..still moving after 6 years!

Good to hear success stories. This surgery is actually a Patella Release surgery. I have ligaments pulling my knee cap off track and bones outta joint. They are going to go in a cut the ligaments and reposition the bone. (sounds really painful, but if it stops the chronic ache it'll be worth it.)
