What Causes Intense Left Knee Pain Long After Having Reconstruction Surgeries?
I am 53 year old male. I had 2 reconstructions on left knee over 30 years ago. Currently I have bone on bone and daily pain. Sometimes knee works and other times complete collapse. I am overweight, but very active as I coach 2 high school sports. I am considering replacement but am told to put it off as long as possible. Why put off something thT may improve my life now? What s your opinion?
As per your history you have knee pain and it has a number of pathological reasons so make a x-ray,uric acid,RA,ASO,CBC with differential,to ruled out pahological conditions and a complete physical exam to ruled out ACL injury,ligament sprains,Discoid lateral meniscus etc(thanks)
