How did they determine yours was too big?
Glad you’re better!
I truly appreciate your comment and encouragement and I’m not looking forward to another surgery at all. My knee is a normal size, as a matter of fact the same size as the other one. But what I can’t understand is it’s usually worse when I’ve fallen asleep at night only to awake with pain because I’ve stayed in one position all night because with sleep apnea which I have that happens. I wake to like I need to oil my knee and leg joint. I ask Orthopedic Dr, Primary Doctor and he asks as though he cares about them more than me. So I’m going to tell him either he work on my behalf or I’ll have to find another PCP. I don’t know what happened to listen to your patient. It’s as though everywhere I go for treatment my PCP calls me and asks me why I’m there and the Orthopedic doctor seemly get wind of it too and it’s like they get hush money cause they disappear and don’t come back in but send the nurse with discharge papers. All I’m looking for is I made a mistake and let me straighten it out apologize because we’re human. I understand where you’re coming from and that is wrong cause that’s what they’re doing to me. I said they’re railroading me or throwing me out to the dogs for me to fend for my self because that’s exactly what I have been doing. I found out I had hematoma through urgent care Dr and I was the one had to call my cardiologist to tell him about and see what to do about my blood thinners and he said get off it when my orthopedic Dr should have been taken me off and done test he would seen I had problems. Instead he discharges me without a pain regimen in place. I’m happy you’re doing better
