[QUOTE="kerley, post: 1223714, member: 7335"] I have endured Orthoscopic knee surgery which is a band aid for temporary pain relief, but does not last forever especially if you are active and required to work hard. Sooner or later the pain returns and you have the option of full knee joint replacement. I had my right knee done on Sept. 2004 and to this day it still bothers me, mostly motion restrictive. Some folks will be up and walking just fine but others will not, I am one of the others. I was in the Hospital three days post surgery then moved to surgical rehab clinic where I stayed thirty days. The good part was that Kathy was allowed to stay with me 24/7. She had a bed next to mine and helped me with everything. Try splinting your leg and use the bathroom with out help. Then the trips to town for rehab. It took me two years before I could bend my knee enough to get on my Tractor. I do admit that my artificial knee is working well and mostly pain free now but I won't do the left knee until the option is crawling. My Hips are also worn out and very painful because of Rhumatoid Arthritis which there is medication and pain pills that help with management. There are so many normal things that I can not do without severe pain that some mornings I wish I could have not survived. Sorry for the long winded but true story but It's a FACT. Bigbull I wish you good luck but I think you are living in Lala land. [/QUOTE]
