Sorry you’re in so much pain. Did you ever have a LYME - lyme knees… or waiting for knee replacement as it’s an old injury, or both? Nights are so hard when one is in pain. My broken shoulder in two places is still very, very painful, and frustrating - especially at night. May you have relief!
33 years in the Navy. They have a term, "Falling up a ladder" when the sea goes out from under the ship and instead of climbing you fall up the ladder, shins get banged around. Cumulative joint trauma. Dozens of ladders each day, pounding seas, standing in those conditions for 4 hours or more.
That is very intense. And now there’s time to take care of that knee, those knees. Will you get knee replacement?
I will if they are giving them away. The downtime can be too much right now, we've got a big project going on and I can't afford to be incapacitated. My wife already is, one of us should be good to put the boat in the water
It also takes some time to get on the list and all of that as well, so may that happen for you sooner than later that knee fix
I'll ask my doctor to put me on the list
