get my knee fixed

Or, kneecap pain, to the rest of the world.

Knee strengthening exercises, here I come!

It really hurts today, why haven’t I done anything about this yet???

constant knee pain for years.
after 2nd surgery yesterday, the doc said there was to much else he could do. The arthritis is eating away at the menisci, ACL and degredating the fluid.

I’ve got a 20 year old quadricep tendon rupture…can’t do anything sporty…that I like!

Come on surgeons you must be able to fix it…everything’s possible nowadays!

i can’t stand the fact that this goal is so unabtainable .
can’t get insurance because of the knee and if my knee was fixed i probably wouldn’t need medical insurance. friggin catch 22.
so judo falls, flex, stretch, wear the brace, repeat.
oh how attractive a blue and purple uploader set to the max is .

1978 soccer game, me the Sweeper attacking an on coming forward with the ball, he fakes I follow with all but my right leg. amazing how humans knees are not ment to bend in that direction like a flamingos.ambulance rides are not that much fun. the attendent wanted to cut off my cleets. I was in pain but relized he was going to hack at my 80$ shoes. told to go to hell. i untied the shoe…..diagnosis ripped ACL mashed cartilage, 2 operations later i was back playing and ref-ing. fast forward to the present day.I have to wear braces to keep the bones from wearing each other away. my leg is 1.5 inches shorter than the other one and i am in constant pain. PAIN in capital letters cox2 inhibitors no longer help, my doctor will not give me a new knee until I turn 50. oh what joy another 7 years of this shit. boy, have i learned to fall with out getting hurt. judo rolls that is the key. most days i ignore the brace and pain, somedays i don’t wear the brace.3000$ dollar custom brace what i would give to not have to wear it. but time and no insurance now prohibit getting the dream knee .titanium and industrial ceramic…... oh to be pain free the left leg has a brace as well for the acl when it feels wonky.

Did ACL surgery and I’m on the way to recovery with 3 days/week of physical therapy. Not always fun but I feel stronger every week.

I have had 3 surgeries on my knee to correct the problems but it is almost healed… then I am definately going to have my other one operated on (hopefully all 3 surgeries at once this time) then I will finally be able to play competitive soccer again :)
