Wow as I read of all the experiences you have all been through I certainly can relate as I have experienced most of them. One of the most frustrating things is that compression fracture is the very last thing the look for as you are going through all their theories. I went through a stint being put in for a kidney stone. Weeks of excruciating pain with four fractures. It is so frustrating what we go through
God bless everyone , continue self advocacy. Chin up and take good care of yourself
Onward !!!

Yes from a renown surgeon/inventor. Threw blood clots to my right lung, all 3 lobes, the beginning of BIG trouble! On the pulse side, no more pain. However, they don't last forever, I can no longer kneel, or do jostling activities like jumping & running.
I should have looked into stem cells.
What I do for my other knee is injections every 6 month.
Good luck!

I had two knee surgeries on the same knee do to infection Ineed one on my right leg but because of the infection I had they will not operate so Ido armchair yoga for the pain also walk as much as I can

I have had a knee replacement and it was not nearly as bad as I had been told. After a while it feels like a young knee.

I had a total knee replacement in 2018 - no problems. The recovery period is very painful. You just have to be
religious about doing the PT every day and the knee will get better.
