Hi everyone. Yes, you read the title right.....I have had 14 knee surgeries...all on the same knee. It all started in 1999 when I was getting out of my car and slipped, fell and twisted my knee. One of those accidents that can happen to anyone and change your whole life. So, in addition to being Bipolar I now have permanent damage to my left knee and artritis in my right knee from making it cover for the left leg. I can hardly walk and am in constant pain in spite of any meds they give me for it. Heck, I'm addicted to opiate pain pills now from having to use them for so long.
I'm hoping to find some companionship and understanding here in this forum. Are you out there???

Hi...I'm bipolar Becky since 1997. Had a horrible experience in a psyc hospital and have med compliant this whole time because I'm am scared to death to be sent back!
I also injured my left knee in Jan.1999 and have had 15 surgeries since to try to correct it. But, because of infection, they have had to take my fake knee out and leave it out (if necessary).. This has happened twice with Mayo Clinic being the last one's to try and fix it.
AS of today, Feb. 9th, I have a broken ankle now from falling because of my fake knee. HELP!!!
