That unstable feeling is scary. I'd hate to fall and break a hip...or my neck, lol!!

I know, the instability is what bothers me the most.

I hope that both of you get your knees in better shape soon. I have some arthritis in one of mine that bothers me some but losing weight has helped that some. Hugs to both of you!!

Yes, mine would feel better I'm sure if I'd lose 20 lbs.

*sigh* I went back to the doctor today. He said for me to wear the brace for 4 MORE weeks.. that's 10 weeks total.. and then I'll probably need surgery
He did say I could sleep without it at night, but NOT to walk without it..even to the bathroom. *sigh*

Oh no Betsi, I'm so sorry
 I remember doing ACL repairs but not MCL repairs. Their not that bad and if it helps in the long run why not. The only thing that pisses me off is that those darn orthopedics hate stitching and use staples even when it's laparoscopy procedure. You know they don't have to put you all under either. Please be careful and do as your doctor order. XOXO |
