I have an appointment with the OS tomorrow- I'll bring up the issues of rejection. Also, back a month ago when I had the MRI, he mentioned looking into the possibility of having varying issues of arthritis. While I fully agree I am on the path to arthritis if I'm not there already, he did mention rheumetoid (sp?) arthritis. Wouldn't this show up on both knees, not just one? It's an autoimmune issue, right? I have a hard time believing that one, but am wondering if that would occur on just one knee as my other autograft ACL recon'ed knee is just fine.

I'll post after my appointment. Thanks again.
