Hi! Well, I just found out that due to an old injury where my kneecap was dislocated I am now going to have to have a Patella Realignment surgery. My knee slips out of place a lot and actually dislocates ocasssionally as well. The surgery "medialization of the tibial tubercle trochlear groove" is right up there with knee replacement. My doctor is concerned as to how I am going to handle this surgery with the Fibro also a factor. Has anyone else had this surgery? or knee replacement? How did you do? I am really scared. Thanks!

Haven't had, don't want, OMG, you poor thing. Well, that probably wasn't the right thing to say..Melinda's had it so she knows a lot more than I do. I've never had surgery, so the very idea freaks me. Just keep us posted. Will be praying for you. I'm so sorry you have to go thru this, but I bet it'll be worth it. hugs

Thank you both so much for your reply. It makes me feel so much better to know that I can reach out to others and get some feedback when I so desperately need the human compassion! My surgery is Nov 28th and I will be in the hospital for 2 to 3 days. I will let you know how I am doing. Thanks again for you being there!
