Looks like I'm going to have to go under the knife(again).

Now go take a pain killer and wash it down with a glass of JD on ice and check with me tomorrow about payment for my professional (sort of) advice.





In all seriousness Ferm, good luck with that. I hope they're able to fix that and relieve your pain. I can somewhat relate with my knee pains that I've been living with for the last several years. After having one replacement done which still isn't right and now they what to re-do that one plus the other knee, I'm apprehensive to say the least. But either way I'm in pain every day and it really sucks.
So I feel for you and hope that you find relief.

I know the feeling about being apprehensive about surgery. They did 3 reconstructions on my right shoulder, and everytime it was the same except I lost more length off my humorous(my right arm is 2 1/4" shorter than my left now). They wanted to try an experimental procedure on it to fix it again, and I finally said enough. I have partial useage of it and can manage the pain from it, and decided to leave well enough alone. The hip on the other hand is a little different because it makes it so I can't walk.
