Knee Update

3 weeks on, I am still in agony with my knee, luckily thanks to my company healthcare, I managed to get referred to a consultant at the local private hospital, a 2 week wait and today was my appointment.

8.45am - appointment with the consultant, who advised I would need an MRI Scan as he thinks it may be lose cartilage in my knee (Meniscus Tear), he doubts it is ligament issues or "I'd know about it".

MRI scan arranged for 12.30 TODAY - now that is fast

I have now had the MRI scan and although not obvious from the scans, the consultant believes it is what he first thought, so I have to have some keyhole surgery (Arthroscopy) to sort it.


Booked in for next Saturday.

I must say I am very impressed with private healthcare, and nervous of having my first ever "operation".

Knee surgery. ohh, that brings a shudder to core of me.

Give me a vasectomy any day.

You can mess with my sacks, but stay away from my knees!
