    Dr Follow up.

    Not much he can do other than replace the knee. I chose to decline for now I went through hell with the last one. I asked him to please refer me to pain management.

    I'm sorry he didn't have any new tricks up his sleeve. I hope you'll be able to get relief through the pain management clinic.

    For what it's worth, my neighbor, who has suffered for years with unexplained pain (had internal surgeries so maybe scar tissue but no one can pinpoint) and has been on opioids, just recently got prescribed medical marijuana and he's now off the opioids and feels so much better again.

    You may want to consider Gabapentin as a pain relief. It was was orginally used for seizure control as it disassociates the nerve endings in your bones and muscles from the brain. My Cracker was prescribed it toward the end when he had osteosarcoma and the pain relievers he was used did not work well. Just a thought.

    Sending prayers you can find something to help with your ongoing problem.

    I hope pain management works. Golden paste is good for joint issues and overall aches. I took it when I tore a ligament in my back a few years ago. Worked wonders for me. After my severe pain pretty much went away, I stopped taking it as it caused me to have very very bad lucid nightmares. I still have pain but it's manageable. Maybe you can look into it?

    I'm sorry it didn't work out. Maybe they have something new in pain management.
