The Knee Pain My Recent Injections Was Suppose To Resolve Is Back
[ Saturday June 2nd 2018 at 5:20 am ]

On May 24th I underwent experimental injections into both of my knee joints. The hope was to permanently resolve some of the pain I've been experiencing.

The injections have proven to be unsuccessful. The pain is back. It is very overwhelming today. The last bit of pain the medication was masking has really sucked the energy out of me.

I am feeling disappointed. I had my hopes up that this would be success and could be used in conjunction with a stem cell transplant to restore my knees.

I need to think about what I want to happen now. I am wanting to live my day to day life. It has been a long time since I've been able to do so without being preoccupied with medical treatment. I am committed to my life. Even with all that has happened I haven't given up. I would like to finish the deep cleaning of my home. There are a set of tasks that will ultimately improve my quality of life. Pursuing these and not engaging in further medical treatment for the time being makes far more sense to me.
