I informed him I knew of the risk that I may very well have to end up with a second knee replacement down the road since they have a certain life expectancy but that I was willing to risk that due to the amount of pain I go through on a regular basis.
Dr Trimble completed shoulder surgery for me, and I gained complete confidence in he and his team. His evaluations were targeted and informative, followed with plans of actions. His in-office and in-surgery teams were exceptional. I will not hesitate to use or refer Dr Trimble in the future.
I have had two arthroscopic surgeries on my left knee over the years both due to tearing of the meniscus cartilage in that knee and I have been told after the second surgery that if anything needed to be done to the knee I was most likely going to be looking at a knee replacement. I had also informed him that steroid shots were no longer effective and that I had also even had a Supartz injection treatment that did nothing either to relieve the pain.
He told me he will still not consider it due to my age. I emphasized just how much pain I was going through and that there were times it hurt so badly I just could not walk on that knee. I mentioned to him that I just couldn't imagine going another 8 to 10 years with this level of pain much less when it got worse as I know it will over time, it certainly isn't going to get any better.
His reply to me was to shrug his shoulders. Basically it felt to me like he was saying "man up, stop whining and deal with it".
When a doctor doesn't even seem to want to talk to you at all about an issue that affects your quality of life so dramatically, to me that just says he doesn't care.
I understand that he is the professional in this field, but for him to say he is not going to consider the surgery at all due to my age and ignore the quality of life issues I am having here and now with the pain, to me that is worse than just a bad bed side manner.
I visited Dr. Trimble as a referral from my regular doctor for a follow up on two issues the primary of which was about an issue with my left knee. The second of which was a wrist that was hurt during a fall.
There is more, but I have run out of characters for this review.
In talking to Dr. Trimble after he reviewed the x-rays they took that day of my knee he concurred that there was no need to look at doing another arthroscopic surgery as that would be ineffective. He also said due to my age, 47, he would not even consider doing a knee transplant.
