I had my first appointment with the surgeon on Friday. Fortunately, she is experienced with PVNS and in the last 1 1/2 years since being in Phoenix she has treated 2 cases of nodular and 1 case of diffuse PVNS. She also has had experience with this disease while working at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas.
When I arrived at the office, I had a x-ray done of my left knee and then the medical assistant did a very thorough job of obtaining my medical history. It’s amazing how technology has advanced....allowing Dr. D to pull up my MRI and x-rays films on the computer. She explained to me that the narrowed space where the femur and tibia are almost touching is arthritis. I told her... “no!! on the arthritis I’m not accepting any more diseases.” Then she showed me the films of the mri...explaining that the dark spots that where showing up was the diffuse PVNS and that I have a Bakers Cyst and a meniscal tear.
If broken ribs can be fixed by Photoshop then I'm sure this monstrous bone eating entity that is living inside of my joint can be erased. Photoshop program is $ and surgery is $$$, well that's a no brainer. Hip hip hurray for Photoshop I'll fix my PVNS with a few clicks on the computer! A cure has been found :-) PVNS wasn't that difficult to get rid of after all. I sure wasted a lot of energy worrying. Phew!! Dodged the bullet there. Ok, enough with the denial, but it felt so good.
