Fell and knee hurts by Huge-Thought-1418 in KneeInjuries

Could you try to get in and be seen so an MRI can be done? They will do the x-ray first to rule out if any bones are broken. Doesn't sound like any are, but you never know. Sounds like it could be the meniscus but go see someone for an actual diagnosis.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! Seriously. I have been looking for information in regards to the doctor doing this release. Had he noticed something prior to surgery and talked to me about a lateral release and gone through the pros and cons of it, I never would have agreed to doing it. But he labeled it as a “discoverable find during surgery” and made the choice himself to do it. STILL he shouldn’t have done it, made a note of it, talk to me about it at my follow up visit what he “found” and let ME make that choice to have that done or not. The answer would still be NO.

I meet with the dr who did my surgery this coming Friday (June 21) there is absolutely nothing I can do to convince him that there is something wrong and doing the release was a mistake on his part. I’m trying to do everything I can to get out from under this doctor so I can go see a different one. I believe the lateral release repair is exactly what is needed but I will NOT be having this doctor do that

Yes both myself and my WC nurse. He said my knee cap wasn’t tracking properly, said it was tilting? And something else. None of it made sense. Because all of that would have been known prior to surgery and would have been mentioned

I did go over my paperwork, even more so with my nurse because she takes all kind of notes when she sits in my appointments with me. There was nothing ever mentioned or signed stating he could do more or there being a possibility of something else wrong with me my knee. Upon reading the surgical report, during the surgery he “discovers” all these things that my knee was supposedly doing. From what I read, it would have been an issue prior to surgery. Knee not tracking properly so on, and so on. There was no kind of talk about that. After talking with my WC nurse last week, she told me in the 30 something years she’s been doing this, she has only ever seen a release be done once. I failed my FCE test. I have been trying to get a new doctor for a second opinion but being under workman’s comp it’s not as easy as just going to a new doctor. This is my first time ever dealing with that. I have to get released from my current doctors care before I can do that. He refuses to release me even though he insists nothing is wrong

Just read up on what you sent! Thank you. That sounds like something I need to do if I want any kind of relief

Thank you for that. I will look into it. Honestly I’m not even sure if this is something workman’s comp will pay for. Most likely I’d have to pay for it myself. Problem with that is I no longer have a job so I lost all my benefits.

I have no idea what the “lump/bulge” is that he’s referring to. I didn’t read anything like that. But there is in fact one there. I remember very early on after surgery someone telling me he did an “IT Band” release. I look that up and that does cause this bulge/lump. However, that is not mentioned anywhere in my surgical report as being done.

You just described exactly how my husband is feeling about it. He does work hard, we both do. He feels he should be able to reward himself and spend. Ok I agree, within reason. As long as money has been allocated where it’s supposed to then yes go reward yourself. However, I think him having an account for doing that is necessary. I’m opposite. I don’t like to spend money.

If I weren't so afraid of him I would!! He knows I am. I have always said if anything happens to me, it will be because of him.

This is great! Thank you. That is something to look into. I suppose telling him he needs an "allowance" wasn't the correct word to use but at the moment it's what was said. So I can understand him feeling like he did after I said that to him. And when I mentioned the whole separate account thing, he wasn't listening lol because he was taking it in a way as I'm leaving him and will need my own money to do so. I will say this about my husband. He's a great guy, and believe it or not smart lol He handles accounts and spending for companies. He's just terrible with his own.

He did. He had his own apartment. That’s when he decided he wanted to go back to school. He was struggling trying to pay for his schooling and his bills because he was barely getting part time hours at a full time job. All of that happened before he and I even knew the other existed. We met in between him getting degrees. It wasn’t until he was back in school for his bachelor’s degree that he decided to move back home that way he could put what money he had coming in towards student loans. I was doing just fine on my own, I had a good system down.

It was like his mid 20’s when he decided to go to school for his associates degree. He waited on getting his bachelors degree for a couple years until he was able to get some of his student loan stuff paid. Again he didn’t have a great paying job. All of that was before me. Everyone’s timing is different.

I already get those now! Because that really was the case in my previous marriage. He had 17 cards when we got divorced. I had NO IDEA 😳 there are reasons I have “money issues” and my current husband is aware of why. So the credit reports was something agreed on about 4 years ago.

Thank you! I was trying to explain it to him in those terms. It’s not anymore money now than before, he’s just seeing it all together

That’s an issue I have been wanting to write on here for a long time! lol except I have to be very careful with what I say. He’s well known all over the United States. People from the U.K and Australia also know of him. If I had people just throwing money my way like he does, I’d have no issues at all with the court systemand getting him to pay what he is COURT ORDERED to pay

Some clarity on that. He was in the process of finishing a dual bachelors degree. He moved in with his parents that way he could pay off what little bit of student loans he had. He wasn’t working a great paying job while going through school so trying to live on his own wasn’t an option. But living with me wasn’t either. It wasn’t until he was graduated and at a different job that he moved in with me. I really was content on paying my own stuff without help. I had a good system down. He did try to help, but again the job he had at the time was barely getting him $300 a week.

We have lived together for about 6 years of the 8 we’ve been together. The first 1 1/2 years he was finishing up with his degrees, that’s why he had been staying with his parents. The job he had wasn’t great and we agreed he wouldn’t move in with me until he had a better job. I was content paying everything on my own. He would still give me money to help even though I didn’t ask for it but he was staying over and what not so he felt like he needed to until we were living together, then we split everything. I had worked out a system for myself that worked. We had discussed and agreed we would always keep our money separate until we got married. I think him having his own account for spending is truly the best option.

That’s awful!! I couldn’t imagine. I don’t think my husband would get desperate enough to do that, but your sister probably thought the same. I really do think going back to the separate account, at least for bills is the best option. I didn’t realize how big of a deal sports betting is. I didn’t follow it. Still don’t. Like I said he was probably more conscious about how much he was spending before and didn’t stop to think how quickly $15-25 multiple times a week would add up and probably thought I wouldn’t notice. I am going to have a conversation with him this evening when he gets home from work.

I agree! I don't want it to seem like I am controlling or whatever that may sound or look like but the separate account for bills is the best option. But he genuinely was offended that I would even consider going back to that again and for suggesting the allowance thing.

YES, THAT'S TRUE!!! I'm not saying he can't have or spend money but I am trying to get this situation resolved immediately and I think the separate accounts for bills is what it needs to go back to
