Hey y'all, I'm new to the forum, but I've been reading for awhile now. So, I'm scheduled to go under the knife for open knee surgery & arthroscopy. Torn patellar tendon, bone chunks, degenerative cartilage clean up. Was also told I have osteoarthritis as well(wasn't told grade). I will be on LIMDU afterwards, with some PT. everyone I've talked to said that this doesn't get any better. Not gonna lie, I'd be worried about a MEB & getting less than 30%. I'm a 34 year old Marine with 2 combat deployments & 2 MEU deployments, with 14 years in. My peers say that if after the surgery, I'm not getting any better, I should request TKR.
Just wanted to stop by, say hello & introduce myself & where I'm at right now.
Thanks,
Jacob
