Knee injection.

[QRTRHRS]

My wife has been in limbo for almost a year now with knee and hip issues. The rooster comb shots were not helping her knee much anymore. We had started looking into the hip replacement last summer since that is supposedly easier to recover from we were told. That surgeon referred us to a specialist due to my wife's heart issues. That surgeon wanted to do the knee first and since you need to not have anything else done for three months prior, we cancelled another round of knee shots for both and a colonoscopy for her. She was hooked up and ready to go under the knife for knee replacement when the anesthesiologist called it off wanting further heart testing first. We started that process but everything is backed up now.

We had gone to classes about the knee replacement process and it does carry issues such as risks from infections. In my wife's case, she has severe issues with many antibiotics. And, by the way as mentioned, the opposite side hip gets affected by a bad knee.

The rooster comb shots do help me. One knee has been good for over two years with little or minimal pain. The other is good with the series of shots every six months. Having gone a year now, that knee is almost to the point where I need to use my brace. It is about 60-70 miles to the clinic for us so I have not gone by myself. I don't even know that clinics status lately.

John, we do "feel your pain". Hope you can find some relief.

For you maybe a pain specialist might be an option.
