A Few More Days Until Euflexxa
http://youtu.be/m2qJMbzwA3w This is a link to a video for the Euflexxa injection I'm starting on Thursday. I'm a little scared. But, from everything I've read online, most people get a good response to the injection. It's a series of 3 injections, one every week for 3 weeks.
Euflexxa is supposed to be a gel that adds "cushion" in the knee. At this point, I do not want to have any more surgeries. This year along, I've had my knee scooped and my gallbladder taken out. The whole year has been about recovery. I'm not ready for another surgery. I really hope these injections help.
It's been really hard to stand on my feet, or walk. Even just laying down. I've been in constant pain with my knee. And it's the same knee that was scooped.
The physical pain is really starting to wear on me mentally. There's only so much a person can take. And, I start to think, Is this what my life will always be? Will I always be in this much pain? It takes a toll.
