This YouTube video (created and uploaded by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter) features a patient, Jim, describing chronic knee pain that limited his ability to perform mechanic work involving lifting, twisting, and heavy activity. He discusses considering knee replacement but expresses reluctance and surprise that alternative treatments existed that might provide relief.
I've been a mechanic all my life. I encounter lots of things where I'm lifting heavy weights, moving, twisting and whatnot. And the knee pain was really taking a toll on my activities there. Before the treatment, I was restricted in what I could do physically. I've been a mechanic all my life, so I encounter lots of things where I'm lifting heavy weights, moving, twisting and whatnot. And the knee pain was really taking a toll on my activities there.
We talked briefly about a knee replacement, and that just wasn't. That wasn't a road you wanted to go down at.
It was certainly one I was considering, but I didn't know that there was other things that could be done that would give me relief in what I was experiencing.
