My poor mother's in a lot of pain. It's a different matter that she's been in a lot of pain for most of her adult life for one reason or another. But this one has been the bane of her life for a very long time now-her knees. These disloyal members of her physical being have kind of decided to give up on her. She's mostly grinned and bore the pain. But now, after a particularly taxing time with my sister's around, my amazing mom has developed what is called a stress fracture. And that makes her almost completely immobile.
A trip to two different surgeons had the same result- an insistence on knee replacement surgery. After a detailed discussion with the doc, I am still not convinced that this is the best course of action.
Any ideas?
