They are worried as I’ve had one knee op to tighten muscles that another op would be too early to do a knee replacement even though it’s needed,  as I’m early 50s told better the devil you know but it’s so unstable 😔 that I’ve been back to doctors and asked to see my surgeon again as I have no quality of life x 

Ollyoyster

@Rainbow116 ooo i have never heard of that, thatbseems mean as your still in pain, i have been told i was too young as i was 49 when i had surgeon appointments, but even he agreed, can you not get a second opinion, doesnt seem fair on you xx

Yes that’s what I’m pushing for, I too have been given a blue badge was from June but only for 12 months thought it would be longer given my multiple knee dislocations 

Ollyoyster

Aww thats not fair, maybe if u explain they will give u another year until u are fixed xx
