I saw Dr N this morning. I showed him the prescriptions I have aka The Chemical Experiment That Is My Life. Had discussion regarding my not really improving even though I am busting my ass trying to get my left leg useful.
Dr N looked at my M.R.I. and said that at the very least, I should have gotten a kneecap replacement. The excuse Dr R gave me, lose some weight, is really a brush off. HE'S worried about a bad outcome. Dr R completely disregarded the fact that I had an above average, excellent outcome with my right knee replacement, and shunted me off to a pain doctor. Why? because he thought I would fuck up his surgical record of successes.
So, their remedies are to pile more drugs on me, or tell me I'm not exercising enough. I have sweat and chafe rashes in place I won't mention because of exercising.
Dr N said from my records, I'm doing all the right things to shed weight healthily, and something else needs to be done. Instead of plying me with more pain killers, we could start with directly injected into the joint medications. Either platelets or SynVisc.
Wish me luck.
