To make a long story shorter, I had an MRI on Left knee and ankle a week or so back. Maybe 2 weeks, anyway, they found 2 tears in Left knee, nothing my primary said really stood out on the ankle. Referred me to Orthopedics, V. A. I'm talking about here. They sent it to the Mercy Ortho, here in Springfield, Mo., which would have been local and been great. But the local specialist refered it back to the V.A. who sent it to a specialist in Kansas City, Kansas. I found out about the K.C.Ks. Dr. today when they called. I can hardly walk now, and have nearly fallen a few times already. Thank goodness for having a cane. Needing some strength to get through this. The repair on the knee should be a piece of cake. Just don't know about the ankle...
