30 yrs with OCD My story starts at 17 diagnosed with ocd,surgery on rt knee, one year to recover, then thats right left knee also with ocd, for the next five years five surgeries, now I,m 47yrs old and all together 8 surgeries. There is not one day goes by that I don,t feel pain, but I,ve learned to live with it,when I was 17 we did not have websites like this one, I was pretty much on my own. I,m glad I could tell my storie, in the beginning I would say why me, I played every sport in high school so active it just did,nt seem fair. But then I finally just decided hay get over it and live my life deal with it, so I did, and now 30yrs later if I can help somebody just one person who might be down YOU CAN DO IT I,ve done it for 30yrs now with two knees , you can too, and hopefully for another 40yrs.
