Hope your 2nd opinion is helpful. The 14th will be one month for me. How dare that Dr. say that.
I had a Rotator Cuff surgery several years ago. After the first year I was still in pain. Dr. didn't know why. I got a 2nd opinion and surgery and my shoulder is fine now. I can't imagine not having use of my shoulder or knee.
Please let us know what the new Dr. says. Hang in there.

Not sure I agree with that. I put ice on my knee all day long to help with the swelling. So you would think cold would help reduce swelling. What does he suggest to reduce swelling and pain? Heat??? I would be interested to know.
Thanks for sharing.
