Hi all
?I have had many knee surgeries and I am being told that my knee cap is actually worn down and not riding in the correct spot. Also have one big lipoma on the side of the knee joint, one cyst starting in the joint itself, and a bakers cyst. My doc says only way to straighten everything out is TKR. I have tried the gel shots and they did not work at all. Any one have any suggestions?

Does your doc think P T might help some. As far as Synvisc injections, (gel) that's about as good as it gets..if they work wonderful, but in so many cases they either stop or never work in the 1st place.
This is where the professionals come in. I've always looked at them as God's right hand, but not God like some of them think they are. You have to have faith and trust in someone and Drs are a great place to start. Make your decision and don't look back, just keep plugging along.
