That’s cool. Are they still only about 60% accurate?

[Wallace]

Not sure. May not even be that accurate. I peed on one and it said negative. LOL

 

[Smitty335]

Thanks, I had the same thing done a year ago and my knee is worse….🙄

Same effect if you have the fluid drained out of a swollen knee, I've had the same knee reworked twice, seems to be good now.

Good to hear. We have diverging issues however…

I got to feeling rough New Years Eve and went to bed at 7:30 PM, woke up in the morning soaked with sweat, fever was gone, Sunday I was just tired, went to the Doc and tested + for the Flue Monday and felt fine other than a cough. I feel my test I had was correct, but am highly suspicious of most test results.

We had got got finished with a home for an orthopedic Dr. The week end before the injury, he did all the Razorback athletics surgeries , so I called his office and skipped the referral process the following Monday, got in the same day, my knee still swollen. He looks at it and does some pulling and pushing. Then he tells me he was glad I didn't go to the ER, they would have drained the fluid off, he told me to take it easy and let the swelling go down naturally and give him a call when it did, so he could get accurate X ray. He also told me the fluid around a injury was natures way of minimizing the damage. Like bone on bone?

 

[Caper]

Awesome, good luck with that!!!
I go next Wednesday…..

Knee feels pretty good. Supposed to take it easy today. Just bend it to get it working. Fingers crossed

Osteoarthritis?

Yeah I guess. He injected Duralane today. Wasn’t bad going in. Have you heard anything about Duralane Wallace.
Caper

 

[Caper]

I have bone on bone and he said this is a band aid until knee replacement, and that’s if the ablation works….🤔

The Duralane is like a jelly replacement in the knee. Hopefully it works good. He seems to think it will.

Had Arthroscopic surgery back in 1/2018. Removed some torn up cartilage and meniscal debris and removed a cyst. I was getting about 2 to 3 shots a year before that. Only had 1 since then. So good luck. Knee replacement is next when it gets bad again.

He said cortisone can disintegrate a knee joint if done too many times. I had two. First worked great, second didn’t do much. That’s why this to delay a replacement. He said it can last 4 years. And get it again.

My scopes on my other knee were good. Lasted over 17 years the first time and about 10 the next. Gotta get on the stationary bike to get back the mussels around the knee after a scope.

I’ve packs. My guy said never take off the fluid. It’s there for a reason.

Positive for Covid….🤔

Nope - results for that? But the test was at the Dr's office, in the parking lot of course.

Positive for what then?

How about a mobile bike?

 

[Smitty335]

Flu.

That would probably be good too if you didn’t have any hills for a bit.
You can actually feel your knee get more muscles.
