Knee surgery

15 years ago

Hi there all!

I just wanted to ask you all to keep me in your prayers tomorrow as I go for knee surgery. I've been dragging around for four months with this bum knee that has torn cartilage and is in constant pain, so I am so looking forward to working toward being pain free...at least in my knees! The procedure is suppose to be relatively short and I'm not suppose to have to use crutches, etc., so that will be a VERY good thing cause "graceful" is NOT one of my traits! Thanks for thinking of me...I'll be back online in a couple of days I hope!

I'll be praying for successful surgery and relief for your pain!

My knee has been crunching all afternoon. Could it be sympathetic crunching? (Actually, I think the treadmill had something to do with it!)

Don't try to do too much and undo the surgery!

Hi

Arthroscopic Knee Surgery :

Arthroscopy is a treatment that can be used for a variety of knee joint conditions such as torn meniscus, mild arthritis, loose pieces of broken cartilage in the joint, a torn or damaged anterior or posterior cruciate ligament, inflamed or damaged synovium or misalignment of the knee cap.
The Arthroscopic Knee Surgery is operated with the help of a small camera inserted into the knee joint through a small incision and through the attached video monitor doctor is able to see inside the knee. The surgeon pulls out various tissues, a shaver to remove damaged or unwanted tissues such as torn cartilage and a burr to remove bone.
