Hi Ann Marie,

Yep, I'll keep on moving. My surgeon was happy that I'm still walking and staying active. I did ask him if I was buying myself a knee replacement sooner rather than later and he disagreed. He said that if I didn't do this surgery that I would be getting a knee replacement sooner. Heyjoe mentioned that he didn't believe surgery caused or didn't cause arthritis. The way the doctor made it sound the arthritis is a separate issue from my injury altogether. My First Line of Defense Veterinarian 🙂 also agreed with the doctor.

That is great to hear.
I had a hamstring surgery but one of my knees is "talking".
I thought the surgery was a cakewalk. Not as bad as I thought.
I am considering the option of snip and trim.
Glad to hear your doc wasn't thinking you were heading to knee replacement.
I do believe the meniscus irritation might cause more issues.
Malalignment more problematic.
Besides, I don't call them "replacements". They are prosthetics.
Best,
AMS
