[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 532243, member: 1514"] Both my knees are bad and in fact, my left knee was the first one I had scoped but in the last couple of years its been my right one that has caused me the most problems. The consensus is that when I had both knees scoped a year apart that even then the left one was still worse so I over compensated and used the right one more and put more weight on it and now I am paying for that mightily. Well, today I was attempting to make my bed because the sheets and blankets needed to be pulled back on because they tend to slide off on the side I get on and off. I was on the opposite side to pull and it is very narrow so I had a hard time fitting there and somehow I twisted funny while I was trying to reach and pull and I felt and heard this POP and a sharp pain along with what I can only describe as what felt like a sac bursting a bit of liquid leaking out. It hurt bad. Now my knee hurts bad...just like my right knee does. I am icing it and taking medications but who knows what I have done now. Put myself even further in the whole obviously. Now its worse since I have fired my ortho. I really need to think about new doctors. I have a pain doctor appointment on Thursday. My GP not again until July unless I need him and my psychiatrist monthly. I havent heard yet about the neurosurgeon so I need to call about that since my back is so bad I can barely walk. I also think I need a rheumy. Im assuming one of those can refer me to an ortho if they think surgery is needed on knees. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
