We'll after visiting the doctor and talking about it, decided to go for the shots. The product is Synvisc and you can find out more about it at: http://www.solar-med.com/eng/products/synvisc.htm They have a good description and a few photos as well. I've been doing research on it, and it appears that if it works (sometimes it doesn't) that it might be just what I need. I decided to postpone any more surgery, after spending basically a year on the disable list as I tend to refer to myself as, that I didn't want to continuing to do surgery unless it's the last thing available.

Well it's been a month since I've updated my blog. As it turns out I've been back to the knee doctor. He wants to operate again, but on my other knee. I'm not that excited about that because, the last operation I feel help only slightly. I finished my first set of physical therapy but when I got to the very end my knee starting to hurt again. I went back to the doctor but he didn't recommend anything other than to change my physical therapy routine, which eventually the physical therapist did. But it didn't really help because I started to having pain in my other knee. I went back to the doctor and this time he decided that the best he could do is operate on the other leg, to help with the pain there. Being that I'm getting so frustrated with the whole thing, I went back to the original doctor and asked him his opinion. He thought I'd be better served getting medicine shot into my joints (more on that later). He said try this and if it doesn't help then consider surgery. Being that I'm sick of surgery, sick of doing physical therapy I decided that was the way to do. So, now I just wait to find out when.
