What Causes Blurred Vision When Diagnosed With A Missing Cartilage In The Knee?

Posted on Sat, 17 Dec 2016

Question: I have recently been told I need a knee replacement due to an MRI showing cartilage missing in my knee. Previous sharp, long-term foot pain was diagnosed as arch starting to fall. Now, the little finger on my left hand hurt feels like the osteoarthritis in my hands has suddenly taken a massive advancement. talkiing bone on bone like the knee.
About a month ago, I started having blurred vision - this is intermittent - lasts usually for just a few minutes at a time. I had one incident with what can only be explained as a halo effect of sorts in the peripheral vision on my right eye I want to know if these symptoms can be related or if they indeed just things that happened close to each other

Brief Answer:
Vision disturbances require special attention

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir.

I can certainly understand your situation.

Knee replacement surgery can be the treatment of choice.

Your vision disturbances are unrelated to current scenario.They require CT scan of the brain to rule out brain infarction.

Joint pains and hands symptoms in your case are related to definite arthritis, but not Fibromyalgia.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
