My family physician has been a God send through all this year. He has helped me out when the surgeon poo-pooed me. He is the one that referred the new surgeon. And working with me to see if we can tone down those pins and needles/burning sensation in my lower leg. The last visit, about the pins and needles, he asked us what the surgeon said about it, whch was just to wait and see. On one visit with the surgeon my Hubby recalls him saying something about the nerves etc. being cut, though I don't recall that but that is why both of us go in the examining room.

I had two knee operations on the same knee in 3 months because the first one didn't align up correctly!

I have now that I have another surgeon who is checking me out.

This I found strange. After seeing the other surgeon, I still had an apt. scheduled with the original surgeon for my 9 month check up. I cancelled 5 days ahead of the apt., and did not reschedule. Well, the day before the cancelled apt, I get a phone call from his office reminding me of the apt. the next day! That was strange because the office uses the automated system to remind you about 3 days b4 any apt. Told her I had cancelled on ......... Never mentioned about rescheduling and she didn't ask. Just said something about it not being taken out of the system.

I was reading all the doc. notes from my visits to the original surgeon. No where does he even mention my concern about the tingling, pain and numbness I was always complaining about - that kept me from sleeping and doing things! Nothing about the therapy I also asked for several times!

I have been in various stages of pain, numbness, tingling and all kinds of things in my right leg for a full year! I can't even imagine this first surgeon would even think I would go and do that to my other knee/leg.

Sorry, but at times I gt very down in the dumps and feel I was so stupid with the first/second surgeries. I should have run like h*ll right then but I was hurting and with the covid it was difficult to even get some medical apts.
