Looks Like Another Trip!

Unfortunately I was unable to make an appointment with my surgeon during my post-op visit in 2 weeks and I will have to make another trip up to Boston in August.

My knee brace came today. It causes more pain and I feel just as unstable as before. Maybe Cam will help me put it on and I'll see if that makes a difference.

I talked to Dr. Shiple today. He wants to try a series of dextrose injections to try an alleviate some of the knee pain so that I can tolerate the PT exercises. Injections don't usually work well with me but as it is a new injection that I have never tried before I thought I'd give it a shot. I will receive 1 injection a week starting this Tuesday. I can receive up to 8 injections but may only need a couple depending on how much pain relief I get. Fingers crossed this works!
