I’m 76 so maybe it is my age. I do trust my doctor that does the injections but I have thought about getting a second opinion. I’m scheduled to get my injections on November 12. I am going to ask the doctor to reconsider knee replacement. I did have major back surgery in 2021. Not only did the surgery not make that issue better it’s actually worse. And the neuropathy started after that surgery. That surgeon said it would go away but it didn’t. I was ok as far as walking until the fall of last year. At that time I was working part time at a golf course mowing the roughs. Heck I could even play golf. But last fall I had to quit the job and that’s when my legs got so weak and my knees were buckling and then I was falling 2or 3 times a week. So now I’m using a walker to get around the house a little and when we go out my wife pushes me around in a transport chair.

Alot of times they won't touch you until you have lost weight, because they want a successful surgery. They get followed and want the percentage to be favorable. So if your very overweight, surgery won't be as successful.
