Looking for stories/advice of any kind please!!! In 2017 I had both of my lower legs done for compartment syndrome. My left leg healed great, my right leg not so much. I had a revision of my right leg later that year. Coming off of that surgery I pushed hard to meet a deadline I had for a horse show and ended up stress fracturing my tibia. After I healed that I began getting extreme knee pain. After several cortisone injections I gave in and had a knee scope along with my plika band removed in 2019. Here I am in 2020 with the same knee pain. My doctor just just XRays and An MRI back and says my knee cap is tilting. I do not want to do surgery again if it can be avoided. I’m 22 and an athlete for a living. He said he feels it’s 60/40 if the surgery will help and I’ll be in a brace for 6 weeks with NO riding. He recommended getting a second opinion and a fresh set of eyes. I have my second opinion on Wednesday and meet with him again on Thursday. I have been in and out of PT since my original surgery, i do dry needling, cupping, and taping. He did offer to inject it again but feels like that is just buying me time. I personally was fine with the injections before but on my 8th ish one I had a HORRIBLE reaction and have never been in that much pain in my entire life and am honestly now terrified of cortisone injections... does ANYONE have any input on this?! I’m a 22 year old full time college student who rides and trains horses for a living. I’m so exhausted from this fight and dealing with what seems to be chronic pain everyday. Sorry for the long post but I’m at my end of fighting this fight and looking for ANY ADVICE to help me with this.

John asks: Has anyone looked into magnesium deficiency? I am wondering if that may be the cause of this new and rare phenomenon. Dr. Carolyn Dean is an expert in magnesium deficiency and after listening to her, I can’t help but feel there may be a link here.
