Was in a car accident in feb 2012 hurt back and left knee. have done physical therapy, epidural injections, and been to a chiropractor for back and no relief and now a pain management dr for back and they are now just listening to me about my knee and they havent even been able to pin point whts going on with my back except i do have digenerative disc disease that i didnt know i had and all my problems are with L4,L5 and S1.I have to wear a back brace, use tens machine every day, had emgs, mylograms, you name it its been done and my knee has gotten worse and the mri says High grade fissure at the median ridge of the patella with trace subjacent subchondral marrow edema, and thin medial patellar plica. I have not worked for a year because of this accident and the knee is getting worse. I saw a orthopedic dr and he said lose weight and physical therapy to strengthen my knee its because my leg has become weak. how did that happen when it got hurt in my accident. I have been to 2 neurosurgeons, 2 pain management drs, had months of physical therapy that only made things worse and the accident wasnt my fault. I cant even do simple things around the house without being in pain but i dont just sit around either i still do things but have to sit down after like 3-5 mins depending on what it is and riding in or driving is very painful.....I need answers and the drs are not helping me.
