KNEE SURGERY???

We really hope that a sixth surgery is not needed on my knee. I have been having problems with it for almost 8 years now. The first 3 surgeries were within 18 months of each other. The last two were just 6 months a part. I has only been 14 months since the last surgery. At that time I received a cadaver knee (bone with cartilage). The doctor is hoping the pain and swelling is just scar tissue irritating the knee. It is possible that I have ripped the cartilage out again (3 times is the charm). We are hoping that a cortisone shot will work. I give it a week and if not then we go for another scope. Wish me luck!;^)
