knee replacement

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. So here's whats been going on. As you know I have had 7 knee surgeries, the most recent one was L. knee ACL Revision on March 12th. Well my right knee started acting up again. So my ortho doc ordered a CT scan. The scan revealed that I had severe knee osteoarthritis. My ortho doc thinks the previous ACL Surgery caused the sudden onset of the arthritis. Well Dr. Zys tried the steroid injections (they didn't work, then the Synvisc ( I developed a severe inflammatory reaction to the stuff, so they had to withdraw the injections). He sent me to Dr. Daniel Cooper, who is the head physician of the Dallas Cowboys for a second opinion. They couldn't do anything. Then he referred me to pain management. The pain specialist tat he referred me to was only in his office on Tuesdays and thursdays, and my school schedule is so hectic that there was no way I could schedule an appt. to see him. Anyways it looks like Dr. zoys may have to bite the bullet and perform the knee replacement even though Im only 27.
