What are you waiting for?
After all the run around that we have gotten in the past two years, finally something is going to be done.
We had a second opinion appointment in San Diego today. We spent the entire day down there reviewing all of his medical records and getting their recommendations as to what they feel needs to be done to help resolve all the issues with my husband's knees and left elbow.
Their recommendation after sending him to Xray to get films on both knees and elbow are as follows:
***The elbow diagnosis is ulnar neuropathy (ulnar nerve needs moved). This recommendation to have surgery needs to be done as soon as possible.
***The left knee needs to have a scope done to clean out the bone spurs that have re-occurred to minimize further damage to the miniscus and prolong having to require a complete knee replacement at this time.
***No longer going to keep adding narcotics to therapy as a "preventative option" to surgery.
With all that being said, the specialist that we were originally seeing in Loma Linda we will be going back to as this was just a second opinion appointment. As of right now, they now have the recommendations of another specialist that informs them that these surgeries are a necessity and they won't give us the run around anymore.
Finally, someone has made a decision and going to do something instead of backing off and being afraid to do their job as a medical physician.
