Afternoon Everyone

Just got back from the VA from my Ortho appt this morning . I must have seen 3 surgeons and 2 surgical residents during my visit this morning . I had one surgical resident perform some flexion and lateral stability tests . he felt and I felt a noticeable clunking sensation which indicates an issue with the prosthetic knee joint

He was also concerned over the lack of flexion I've got and lateral pain I'm experiencing . I've got a young persons or sports style prosthetic knee and it is possibly worn out or failed . Between all the surgeons I saw this morning they all agree surgery is needed but need to have a surgical panel discuss my case and what they will do to alleviate the pain , instability and clunking my prosthetic knee is doing . i might be a candidate for an older persons knee

In the mean time I've got surgical work ups to do which includes a CT Scan , Bone scan and blood work

 

I would like to get my truck re geared and Detroit locker installed before any trail riding

 

Best of luck with all that chuck you need and deserve some relief

 

Thanks Chris , it sure will be nice to not be in pain anymore

Can't believe how fast the scheduling for these tests have happened . within the last hour or so I've scheduled both the CT Scan and bone scan .Just hope these scans show some abnormalities of the knee

 

Good luck!

 

Thanks Don !!

 

Chuck- I understand if you want to re-gear and get locked first, I would like to get bigger tires and regear/locker also but I am sure it would be a chunk-o-change. This is a nice road without any major obstacles, and if we wait until later in the season it will get bad with mud and then later with snow and ice. I am 4WD and have straps, although I have not needed them on this road even when covered in ice.
We can bring Andy,@CVYota , along also, set you in the middle of us and cruise on up to the best burgers around with classic rock and cute waitresses to boot. I also get the whole bad knee possible surgery thing-best wishes with that. Which VA do you go to? If you go in for the surgery I would come by and visit, maybe slip in with some Jack Daniels to help out!

 

dang you make me wish i lived out there with you guys. from all the pics i've seen out there the trails seem endless

 

good afternoon i hope you all had a wonderful day

 

^^2X thinking the same thing

 

ah bob it is what it is i guess there are some redeeming qualities on the east coast but not much to do around here with a truck other than play in the mud

 

Mike

im no geography,but arent there any type trails around you? mudding is a different animal! crazy. i like the cruise up a trail andjust enjoy the scenery.
i couldnt justify me getting 4x4-although i did have a nissan hardbody AC and never locked it in!

 

Does this torture procedure actually help once the pain is gone?

Are you two or three?

welcome!!!

Well, this is the ONLY one you need to worry about!!!

Suuuuuurrrrreee you didn't!!

Hope they can replace the knee and relieve all the pain!!! and sooner rather than later!!!
