Ok so I am pre-op and I have a torn miniscus, and arthritis in my knee, the pain is getting worse and worse as the days go on, I called today to ask for something for the pain..of course they wont give anything over the phone, so i have an appt next tuesday to book the surgery and get pain meds, now i know if i call my primary he will call me in something, now here is my issue, I am having my upper scope done november 1st to find out if my ulcers are gone,so he can clear me for my surgery...... if i get pain meds could that effect the results of my egd? I feel like my damn knee is about to fall off, and what sucks is since I am babying this knee the other knee is starting to hurt now, i hate being fat =0( Gina

OMG Gina, I just read your post and thought hey I did not write a post about my knee, Mine is killing me too, I went to see the ortho and she did nothing for me because of my up coming surgery, so I ask my surgeon if I could have a shot in the knee, corazone (sp) and she said NO, so here I am too walking with a cane in pain can't walk far and having surgery on tues So I feel for you, and about the upper scope they were are going to do mine but could not get a IV started so I will have my scope the day of sugery after they start a centeral line, and when I went to have my scope they knew that I was on pain meds and that did not matter to them, I wish you luck in your surgery,

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Thank you Janet. Good luck with the surgery, I didn't get cleared after my first scope, had ulcerated lesions everywhere, so Now I am hoping thursday he will clear me, he is all I have left. As for my knee I am booking that surgery tuesday, I need it done, I have been popping vicodens for the past few days. I hate feeling like a zombie but I needed something to ease this pain.

Good luck Gina, with your knee surgery, When I have my scope tomorrow I almsot wish that she finds som lesions on me , so I can get my knee fixed too, I know what you are talking about with the vicodens I think I live on them,

anyway good luck and take care
