I know what you mean, Bill. My wife's 10 days past her surgery. This is her 11th such procedure (4 knee, 6 hip, 1 elbow), and I'm STILL learning how to be less of an ass. Can't imagine what a wimp I'd be if I were in her shoes.

I first watched this video 11 months after my wife had this done. Now I feel like I've been an insensitive ass for the last 11 months. I'm sure it's been longer then that though. She is doing great now and is able to walk and be on it for extended periods with only a little discomfort at times. I'm committed to being less of an ass

You mean anesthesia, not euthenasia, euthenasia means to put to death.

I had an mri and the findings are 1.moderately severe osteoarthritis in medial compartment. 2.Degeneration and tear, medial meniscus. 3. Chondromalacia of the patella. 4.Severe tear of ACL. 5.Partial intrasubstance tear or sprain of PCL. 6.Moderate size joint effusion. Can you help me without surgery? Where are you located? I have had stem cell procedure, PRP, some Prolo-therapy, physical therapy and now I am having rulfing 1-2 times a week. My leg has atrophied and I have a severe bend.

@xotinamariaxo that could have possibly be because of ligament damage i remember when i tore my acl before i had the surgery my knee was very unstable and would often buckle
