Hi Yes thanks for responding. The doctor first suggested that I go to physical therapy, then shots in back to relieve pain and lastly surgery, I did physical therapy, not a great help, I am getting second shot next week, first shot-no relief at all. My concerns are the scar tissue which I produced after my knee surgery. It has been a problem for me as it has affected my calf and thigh muscles which are tightening up and have over worked and are twice as strong as my other leg. In addition all the issues of going under anesthesia and what can happen during and after the surgery itself. I am going to seek a second opinion soon as I can get an appointment.
thanks again.
Any other information would be highly appreciated
Raymond.
