I felt blown off and not heard. He really didn't seem to hear me when I told him how much pain I'm in. Partially I understand I can't have a cartilage graft/transplant but seriously? I have tear that goes down to the bone and hurts so bad that I am getting pretty much wheelchair bound at 38. He claimed "I'm too young for a knee replacement." Not impressed. Going to get a 2nd opinion with someone who'll atleast feign a interest in hearing what their patient is trying to tell them. I refuse to live in this much pain for who knows how long. I've got kids who need me at my best not curled up in a ball in pain. Everytime I stand up there are sledge hammers hitting my knees nonstop.
