Yoga/Pilates 1:00:00 [3]
Really good class today; worked up a sweat and could feel my legs working hard.
Saw a knee specialist today at the Penn Sports Medicine Center. They did new x-rays and we chatted a while and he basically said there really wasn't much to do other than what I was already doing. He also said that he could see me never having a knee replacement or deciding to get one in the next year or two - it was a more of a personal choice than a medical decision. He said there were a couple of things that they had to watch out for: if the range of motion started to really deteriorate that was a trigger for getting the surgery since they have much lower success operating on joints where there is less range of motion and if the bone started wearing away at an increased rate which would make the surgery more difficult since there would be issues attaching the synthetic joint to the worn away bone. But he said both of those things looked okay for now but they would want new x-rays every 3 years or so just to keep track of things. He also said many patients with knees like mine get replacement surgery but not all. And then I got the always pleasant to see double take when he checked how old I was.
