Have to have knee surgery..
I have been having problems with my left knee for some time. I had an MRI and some x-rays done recently and was refered to a orthopedic surgeon. I went to a Orthopedic surgeon today and he says I have to have knee surgery. I have what they call a lateral meniscus tear. I am going to have the surgery May 24th. It is going to be done orthoscopicly. It is a same day surgery, but I will be laid up for 4 to 5 weeks. That is going to be fun!! The surgery itself is no big deal, but the recovery is long. I have to also have physical therapy for some time as well.
Meds I take:
Elmiron, Elavil, Vagifem- for IC
Albuterol, Flovent, Atrovent- for Asthma and lung problems
Paxil, Clonazepam- for depression and Anxiety
Atenolol- for rapid heart rate
Nexium- for Gerd
Levothyroxin- for Hypothyroidism
Lasix, Pottasium- for edema
Lipitor- for High Cholesterol
I coated aspirin

Been there, done that!
Wishing you an uneventful surgery and recovery! Hopefully you'll be feeling much better once you're healed.
