I went to the doctor wensday. He told me that my knee pain was not from the same issues i had surgery for last Jan. I do not think he would have lied about it since he was not the doctor who sent me to the surgeon or the surgeon.
HE told me something was loose behind my knee cap. Which is causing my pain. When he moved my leg my knee cap moved side to side. He told me doing a scope was not a good choice. HE said a total knee replacement was a option but not at my age. He told me he would give me some pain meds. and see what it does. He told me if not to do phys. therapy in a week or so and we would go from there. What i found odd and maybe some of you can let me know if this is normal. He gave me 100 vicoden. Which i got hydrocodone 500s for generic for 17 days worth of meds. That comes out to 6 a day. Which it does say 1 every 4 hours as need. Does this seem to be alot.
I know i am a big guy but dam.
He did tell me to stay off it. But when it warms up i will be out scouting. I am not going to let some pain keep me in the house. He seemed like it would not get worst just not better. I know phys therapy did not help last year.
Could have been worst he gave me three options last month. Arthritistotal knee replacement or cartilage replacement. Know he says surgery is not a option we want to go down. I do agree. But i know three people who are addicted to pain meds. One for knee pain one for cancer one for a bad back surgery.

I can deal with what it is now i can walk about 80% for the most part some time it gets bad but still not as bad as before.

I hope it all is good come hunting season. I think i am going to try and get the permit for hunter with a disability that would allow me to use the access road and it changes some of the rules for hunting the local state property. I do not like the idea but if it keeps me hunting so be it.
