MRI Imaging Of My Right Knee Joint
[ Tuesday May 21st 2019 at 7:40 am ]

I've just finished an MRI session at my local hospital. This hasn't gone near as well as I had hoped.

The position I had to lay in caused the same severe out of control pain I experienced following my when my left hip joint was rebuilt for 3 days in 2007. I haven't been so totally crippled by pain in several years. I expect warm water will help. However I am concerned this affirms a concern from January 2019.

In January I thought I felt a tissue tear in my right outer thigh. I had a series of x-rays to assess of the artificial hip implant was structurally sound. I passed the x-ray screening. I am objectively concerned the pain I am experiencing affirms a partial tear did in fact occur. When I have the follow up appointment with the orthopedic surgeon I will need to discuss what treatment is recommended for my right hip joint.

I have not recovered from the hip replacement surgery. You just can't do the stretches and exercises needed to have a successful recovery with a pair of compromised knees. Ironically it now seems my artificial right hip joint is going to interfere with my knee treatment the MRI imaging will set in motion.
