[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 396163, member: 1514"] Yes its not fair...poor DS! Are they just going to drain his knee and inject the steroids? Is that all they are going to do while he is under? If so, that is good and not a big deal. They are just putting him under a very light sedation because of his age. If he was older, they wouldnt even consider sedation. They would just inject a numbing agent and then do the procedure. If had that done in a a doctor office. In fact, not too long ago, I had the steroid injection done at the ER. If he is having the light sedation, he should be able to go home within a few hours. When I had my arthroscopic surgery on my knees, I was let go about an hour or so after I woke up. Didnt take too long. He may get a knee brace or he may not. They may just bandage him up. Tell him from someone who has had it done that it isnt something to get afraid of. Neither the getting put to sleep, because it isnt a really deep put to sleep, or the actual knee surgery because it isnt a big surgery...they wont cut him. He may see a magic marker mark on his knee when he looks but little else. It wont leave any big scars. I hope Im helping. LOL. [/QUOTE]
