So glad you're not hobbling around on a broken leg although it does happen. A friend did it for a week before deciding to get it checked and then spent months in a leg brace. It does look like a knee replacement is in your future if you are bone on bone. I had one done coming up three years ago and I am so grateful I did. They have much better outcomes these days.sparklingmerlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600695778999486566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-63939239486010396452022-11-22T17:44:45.208-05:002022-11-22T17:44:45.208-05:00I didn't notice.

Once the inflammation from the bone bruise dies down, he suggested shots might delay the inevitable knee replacement. So THAT was good news. They offered pain killers, but to be honest, I've never taken a pain killer that didn't have some side effect. I will stick to my OTC stuff and wait it out. <br /><br />Such good news though. I was sick thinking that my Christmas might be screwed up.
