So, I had op number five in January, painful to say the least but not really feeling many benefits from it just yet but still got just over a month to go before I have to go back and see the surgeon in Manchester. So I have carried on looking around for surgeons to see if anyone can give me a more permanent solution, and the latest person I tried was Mr Aldridge in Bristol, his credentials were good and I thought I would take a punt. Unfortunately he could not offer me anything, but whilst he was looking at my background a drop in my health happened. CRPS a condition that effects the nervous system has suddenly got worse, therefore my medication has been changed from Gabapentin to Pregabaline, this is a potent medication however it seems to be doing the trick. When all this happened I was in agony and now I am feeling a lot more like myself again.
Unfortunately today whilst at school I had a slight accident and my knee twisted underneath me so at this moment in time I think I have torn something as I heard a huge pop/bang in my knee, thankfully it was my right knee so there are some positives in it but that doesnt make it any easier, I am debating whether to tell my surgeon or not or see how it goes. Will just have to wait and see and keep you posted. I have been icing it but it is quite severely bruised and swollen so will have to rest this weekend and take it easy which is just what I needed a lazy weekend, where I dont think about my health and can just relax its just a shame it wont last.
