Arthritis Pain Has Returned To My Left Knee Joint
[ Thursday November 29th 2018 at 8:00 pm ]

Now severe arthritis pain has returned to my left knee joint. It has been all of 28 hours since the injection. I was hoping at a minimum that my left knee joint would be responsive to the medication injected.

This is disappointing. However I am not all that surprised. My knees have been degrading my mobility since 2005. It has rapidly accelerated since my hip joints were replaced.

I could not have undergone it without at least some hope for a successful outcome. At least this gives me some direction for my future treatment. If my knee joints had been responsive to the lubricating injections regenerative medication would have been a very real option to pursue. In this sense I don't regret the exercise.

Prior to any further surgeries I am going to need a house made for my wheelchair and special set of physical challenges I face. There is significant risk in the surgeries. The recovery will be complicated. My home just isn't a suitable environment for me to live in during this time in my life.
