i have seen the x-rays of my knee, and the gap between the femur and tibia, has narrowed greatly in a year since the last x-ray.
i was told that i need a knee replacement, but because i do get about, without a stick, but am impeded in walking long distances. i feel that something else could be done, by widening the gap and filling it with what could be used. i know that is a non medical way of describing it, but could some one tell me if there is a way of avoiding a full knee op, as until now at 71 i was very active and i am nervous of it all going wrong and not being able to move as much as i do now.
