I am a recovering alcoholic and have an unrelated medial meniscus tear in my right knee. It is debilitating but my gp and specialist are reticent to operate or provide cortisone injections due to my bad coag ability or tendency to bleed.
I appreciate their concerns and they are thinking of my best interests but I know there are surgical methods to temporarily thicken your blood. I can't live with the pain in my knee and need the operation. Has any other alcoholic"s faced a similar situation?

Probably not the bleeding they are concerned about. It's the chance of blood clots while healing from it. Any meds given may cause them and can't use blood thinners to get rid of them.
