Diagnosis And Prognosis R/t Chondromalacia In a 36 Yr Old Posted: 12-08-03 16:42pm


I've been having problems with both knees for 6 years. Gone from an acl recon in the left with devel of cysts, reacting to the implants to pain in the right. Right one got infected 2 years ago after an arthroscopic lateral release (my own fault) resulting in acute septic arthritis requiring 2 arthroscpic i&d's and a manipulation 12 weeks out. Things gradually getting under control when in jan. Devel more and more pain in the right. Gone from various antiinflammatories to finallys seeing my orthopod again. After 2 months of pt and no activity besides my work as a perioperative nurse (am normally very active) and 3 injections, had another arthroscopy a week ago. Found lots of scar tissue as expected and some synovial inflammation but also generalized grade iii chondromalacia of the right knee. What does the future look like for me?? Started on glucosamine immediately, on bextra still for a while to help with any inflammation postop, take multi-vits and 1000mg ca++ daily, am normal to underweight depending on how much pain i've been in (5'4" and weigh anywhere from 105-97#), normally ski, lift weights, do aerobic activities, stretch and eat a healthy diet with no smoking, excess drinking. Am too young for all this! Please give me your projection so I can plan accordingly. As a nurse, I have this control issue! If I can plan, I can cope much better! Tia.
