They only last so long and can damage. I had cervical fusion, joints C3-C6 in my neck. I was terrified, but I was desperate to make the pain stop. I was also loosing function in my right hand and now game left handed. Research the procedure and the doctors well, it will help you gain confidence.<br />Good Luck <br />Besheke of MalfurionTehuantlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12046142134198666524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985530956167952967.post-59459617962649704292009-11-10T04:05:20.270-05:002009-11-10T04:05:20.270-05:00Random Knee Surgery comment:

Being a medical-type person herself, she used only local anesthesia and had them do live video of it so she could see.<br /><br />So yeah, she watched the doctors cut open her knee and do surgery on herself. So: 1) My mom is insane. And 2) surgery is generally pretty safe. Knees are common, doctors work on them a lot - it's not like Lasik which is relatively new.Randomsmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885979849576611558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985530956167952967.post-22787039601939555012009-11-02T15:08:31.157-05:002009-11-02T15:08:31.157-05:00My roommate actually just got knee surgery 3 days ...My roommate actually just got knee surgery 3 days ago, he is gone all week. My mom also just left today to get lasik eye surgery. Personally, I've never had to have any surgery done.

1)...Random opinions of a stranger on the internet:<br /><br />1) Cortizone injections are very damaging to the joint, and do not last forever, let alone very long. They don't fix anything, they just make it so you don't notice a problem. As a person in the veterinary industry, I can tell you they won't even do this to horses. <br /><br />2) If you are very worried about having anesthesia, it may be possible to have local anesthesia for the procedure and not have to be fully "under". You'd have to talk to your doctor about that. <br /><br />3) Even if you do still have limitations in movement/discomfort in your knee after surgery, it will be an improvement over your quality of life now. Chronic pain can have a very bad impact on a person over a long time, and you're already five years in.wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04711567804321998461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985530956167952967.post-80030221300179183692009-10-26T18:25:17.892-04:002009-10-26T18:25:17.892-04:00When considering surgery, keep a couple things in ...When considering surgery, keep a couple things in mind when comparing yours to your grandmother's:<br />A) Younger bodies heal better than older bodies. Your grandmother (if she had surgeries at an older age) would have been more at risk for complications than you are.<br />B) Advances in science and medicine usually make surgeries have fewer risks now compared to a long time ago. The procedures are probably different for surgeries now, but your doctor could help to better explain what your particular risks are for a particular surgery.<br /><br />You may want to try the less invasive treatments first before surgery...Lissannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507545089290542742noreply@blogger.com
