So I was first sent to a Orthopedic doctor instead of a Rhuematologist and he suggested a surgion. My knee caps face the side of legs instead of the front and there is allot of arthritis in my knees. He said that the surgion might not want to do surgery since there is allot of arthritis. I was just wondering since I have Fibro would surgery be a bad move if he decides to do it?

The surgery would be to realign the knee caps to the center and both knees need it.

I just had surgery, I am shocked that I am doing as well as I am. I still have a bruised throat like someone tried to strangle me. For the first few days after I had some really bad dreams. The doc office said it was from the Anastasia. I have had a flair up since the surgery, but nothing like I was expecting. I uped my pain meds for a little more than a week. I do still have more pain then normaly, but it is getting better.

If there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to ask
