Had Carticel Implant done about 13 months ago. Leision was on weight bearing side and where the knee clears/bends. First 4 months...not fun....middle months doing better...still pain but progressing....last 4/5....downhill....swelling pretty bad...knee cap looks like it is about to explode out of my skin...pain...not a total whimp....but I get nautious when I see steps!!!
I saw doctor 2 weeks ago......his face reflected a man not pleased with the sight and condition of my knee....gave me super-hero imflamation drugs and said see you in 3 weeks...well you know those didn't work.
