Knee News

I saw my orthopedist (the saintly Dr. Morrison) today, and got a cortisone shot in my left knee this time. He took x-rays of my knees (I dread getting that bill), and confirmed that my right knee is pretty much shot. He still intends to postpone replacement surgery for that knee for as long as possible (hopefully into my sixties). If the cortisone shot doesn't help the left, he thinks it might be a problem with my back. I have a back deformity (5th lumbar sacralization) so it surely could be that. I'm just not sure who to see for it.

Right now, though, my left knee is feeling a little better... so I'll hope for now.
