Knee Pain

Not sure if this is relevant but around 6 years ago having had knee arthritis for years. I developed a pain in the knee but the worse was the pain down shin and side of leg into ankle and foot. Used to make me cry out walking was difficult and I spent a few months hardly going out. It did not keep me awake at night. I eventually saw the consultant and they decided to do a knee washout. I had to wait 2 months because when having the pre op check they did not like my ecg and ordered a echo. To cut a long story short the echo was fine but the pain suddenly disappeared. I went for the washout but the surgeon said if its not hurting then to leave it as it would just start it off again. He laughed and said it was nature doing their job after around 6 months of pain. Maybe it was cartilage but it coincided with me having bad eye sight as I was waiting for cataract surgery. It may have been part stress related who knows. It is odd how things work out . I don't blame you at all if the bracelet is helping then I would not take it off either. My knees still give me pain but nothing like it was. The consultant told me that knee replacements are not always as successful as hip. His actual words were it is awfu operation with sometimes a long recovery and that I should not contemplate unless the pain is so bad I can't sleep or have any quality of life. Good luck and I hope you continue to be pain free.

Now, you need to consult with expert.

I still have no knee pain, but will, as a matter of course, discuss this with my GP the next time I see him. Thank you.
