I am a military veteran and have really bad knees. I went to Kaiser to find out why it was getting harder and harder to walk! I couldn’t bend my knee so I agreed to have arthroscopic surgery! My knee cap was off 3/4 of an inch. I needed a lateral release and a meniscus fusion! Then my entire lower right extremities developed lymphedema! It is very severe and painful!

I’m now losing my job and I have a family of 7 to take care of! My quality of life is been turned upside down and now I wish I didn’t even do the surgery to begin with!!!
