Sept 10 2024 I had a scheduled visit with the Surgeon. When I left there I was told my pain in the right knee was from not doing exercise, scare tissue was causing the pain
I listened, I joined Planet Fitness, I went there every night, I also did the home exercises that the PT people who I was going to said to do.
Ellison gave me 30 325-5 oxy a week.
about Nov 15th they got cut off
Saturday Nov 23rd I got to the gym rode the bike 6 minutes then went to the 6" step I was using every night and took 3 right up left down steps and stopped because of pain.
I went Sunday and the same thing happened. I was done with exercise, the pain wasn't worth it IMO.
Jan 20th, I had a scheduled appointment with my Primary, they checked my blood pressure.
174/ 92. they checked 2 more times, it came down to 154/82.
I was put on BP Pills. I was also sent down to get x rays.
results:
No periprosthetic fracture or dislocation. No hardware failure status post right total knee arthroplasty. New moderate prepatellar and infrapatellar soft tissue swelling. New coarse calcifications in the vicinity of the patellar tendon, possibly calcific/degenerative tendinitis. I took the last sentence & put it in a search. Calcific Tendinitis of the Patellar Tendon with MRI Correlations
It's rare to get this in your knee, it also called it a disease. the article describes what is going on with me.
I did see the surgeon Tuesday. The doctor said I have a scare tissue issue, said I needed therapy & was going to order Lidocaine Patches.
I still go to work & can get stuff done. I can’t carry hardly anything. I feel every pound I lift. I’ll get in bed soon & stay there till I leave in the am. I can move around & find a spot or position I like & sleep. I know it’s not good for me to do that. I need to move about more.
I will find answers soon, Monday I will ask to see a specialist.
I know & see several places on my body that have calcium deposits. There are bone spurs on my feet. I have a calcium problem.
I’ll keep reading about this.
Thanks for reading!!
There could be someone hear that can fill me in! that be awesome.
