His knee

Tweet

My husband has always had knee issues since college. He got hooked on pain killers just before we got together as a couple. So often since we have been together he has been dealing with pain in his kneed. Well two years back he has knee surgery done on his need to take out osteoarthritis tissue in his knee cause by him being pidgo toed. (This is also and issue we have with our middle son) His knee has been better since having his surgery there are days where when storms come in it give him a hard time which is normal for many people. He knew that over time he would have to have knee replace. So when his knee started to hurt over a week ago and it wouldn't stop hurting he called his doctor and got in right away. He looked at my husbands kneed and told him he has OA (osteoarthritis) which means as his knee bones come together and rub on each other he has no cartilage in his knee from wear down. so all of this OA and fluid si causing him pain. So the doctor told him there was a new inject that he has given to others over the last few years and it has worked for many a small number it didn't work for and it could save off knee replace for years to a good few months. Tuesday he started his first injection and my husband says his knee feels a little bit better a little less pain but he still needs his brace. In a week he does his second one and that should also relieve more pain from his kneed. They have to do this in three section and possibly a 4th one but they won't know till after they do number.I hope this injection therapy works for my husband so we can save off on knee replace for bit longer. He has no more leave for this year till fall when the school year starts over again.
