KNEE SURGERIES: They, mean more than one doctor, have told you the knees are fine. You still feel pain! you should see pain management specialist for physical therapy, steroid injections, acupuncture, strong pain medications and other modalities. Need more information about 5 surgeries on 2 knees at age 44! what is the diagnosis? Your other option is to see highly experienced orthopedist at university hospital.

BAd KNees: You may be a little too young for surgeons to offer you knee replacements. Have you looked at possible stem cell injections into the knees?

They have the most documented research about their treatment algorithm and often will do a phone consult with you if you live far to determine how you might fair.
