always in pain
I recently had knee replacement surgery. It took 8 years to get it. Most surgeons will not even look at you seriously until you hit that magic number (old enough). Since I had a knee cap that would randomly dislocate, I had had many bad falls over the course of the last eight years. So lucky me, I now have a knee that works but my back is too messed up to let me get back to work. I should also mention that I had full reconstructive surgery on my knee when very young which did help for about 9 years allowing me to live a sort of normal life.
