From: loujeanb on 7 Aug 2008 17:00 We (doctor and I) have decided to not go through with the shots in the right knee as it doesn't bother me that much. They are scheduling a second opinion for my left knee. We'll see what happens on that. As to the knee cap, there is an opinion that if the knee cap is damaged badly enough (apparently my situation), a replacement won't work well and the pain will still be there. That's the reason for the second opinion. -- Navy Take out the FISH to email me. <Gloria Wolfe> wrote in message news:1218136136.11.1218052768(a)fidotel.com... > I'll be thinking very postively for a good outcome.

From: Gloria Wolfe on 9 Aug 2008 00:35 Thanks for explaining it to me. You know, since your right knee isn't bothering you that much, you may have had more pain after the injections. And, you certainly don't want that ;-) Hope all goes well with you.
