16 months and 4 ops!

Really I should have named my blog..the eternity of knee pain. Its now 16 months and here I am again on crutches typing away with my knee going up and down in a CPM machine. On the bright side I was told I couldn't have another op for at least a year so hopefully some of he pain will go. On the down side the surgeon found a crater in the back of my patella which he says will always give me pain...how much remains to be seen but I suspect long term it is going to mean a TKR.
At least now all the screws have been removed from my knee and ankle as as this time the surgeon managed to get 150 degrees whilst MUA I feel there is some hope.
