I also cringed at the thought of knee replacement so got 2 more opinions
& it turned out I have "Bursitis," & don't need a knee replacement, but
not sure what to do about it. I hate taking pain meds every day & sometimes they don't even work. Any suggestions???

Did the doctor who diagnosed give you a treatment plan? I wonder if it would be helpful to have physical therapy

Hi Kay,

Did you have X-rays taken of your knee? I'm just wondering about the condition of the cartilage in your knee (medial and lateral meniscus and articular cartilage, and/or the presence of arthritis).
