Meh, loving the medical system - finally got my appointment with Dr wiley (ortho - not surgeon) at the U of C sports med clinic today... Got refered April 9th - appt may 22nd... Luckily, sounds like I've actually done enough damage to my knee this time around to be a surgical candidate (they've been letting it get worse for the past few years because they don't think they can do further arthroscopic - too many already - thus it's gotta be 'bad' before they'll do more).
But like you guys - lb's have packed on over the past 5 years - mostly because I can't do much walking, hiking or biking before the knee flares up and I end up back on crutches... Yet last 2 years orthopaedic referals have gotten me all of 'you need to loose 60lbs to hit your BMI' - very useful information and advice, given about all I can manage because of the knee problems is 20-30 minutes a day on the eliptical trainer... And the medical system wonders why people look at medical tourism...
