784caroline and bagboy......love your responses. Dr. Nguyen is a genius. I am 8 weeks out after having my left knee replaced by him. I wrecked it 20 years ago. Two years ago I fell and fractured my right fibula and smashed that knee trying to protect my bad one. 18 months seeing Tri-County Ortho and monthly xrays telling me to be patient that the fracture had healed and the remaining swelling in my knee and leg was just a hematoma and would eventually go away was totally misdiagnosed. When I got my appointment with Dr. Nguyen to eval my left knee, he took one look at my right leg and said it was a Morel lesion and needed surgery to be removed. He took out a sac of fluid that he could put his whole fist and forearm into. He did this surgery in April, July he replaced my left knee and Oct he will replace my right knee. If you don't want to deal with a PA (who are more than qualified) you can see him but will have to wait longer for an appointment with him. I just wish he had an office in The Villages.
In fact, you can see my lesion in my profile pix and how my golf pants rode up over it. It was huge and very uncomfortable.
