RE: 2nd surgery
My own Ortho Surgeon sent me home when I needed the left knee replaced. he even said, he wouldn't do the surgery till I went home and weighted out the quailty of life issue with it. And to return in 2 months. That was when I said lets do it, get-er-done...

Thank you all for your input, I think before I allow any more surgery i want to try PT/Pain management less invasive I am still pretty young and the thought of lossing use of my leg is not sitting well with me. Nor would it sit well with anyone I believe, yes the pain is horriable but at least at this point I can still walk some. I will not give up or give in and I will continue to fight. I am a fighter and I think jumping into surgery without trying other treatments first is not for me the only reason I did the fusion was I tried every other treatment first. PT,Rest,meds,shots nothing worked, Just a scary thought.
