What kind of surgeries/diagnoses are we talking about?

If you have injured your knee in the past it is all messed up due to cartilage being torn all so having ligaments,tendons and muscle tissue strained.Since you have had three qrthoscopic surgeries,you will probably have to ahve another one to see what the problem is.Since none of the other surgeries have helped it.Ask your orthopedic surgeon exactly what the problem is,before they do surgery again or plan surgery.Then ask for all the options of will this fix it permanently or just  a short while.If you feel some thing more can be done then get a second opinion.Good luck and take care of your self.

To: doctors
my son had a closed bone fracture due to fall. the doctors cast his arms, is it ok if i remove his cast for awhile to fix it because he pull the bandage and he tries removing the cast. so what i do is remove it all and put it back in a more secure way.
thank you.
