[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 623286, member: 84857"] [USER=103830]@Scouser58[/USER] I see what you are saying about pain transference as I know it is possible to feel pain in a different area to the origin of the problem as in sciatica.....was wondering though if the lack of pain in the knee is due to nerve damage / neuropathy / loss of sensation caused by his diabetes .... The GP has referred him for a hip xray which he has booked for the 11th September to check that out so hopefully we will get the verdict on that before the appointment comes through for the consultant for the knee.....at least there will then be up-to-date xrays for both hip and knee on the system for the consultant to refer to in making any recommendations. Unfortunately he still doesn't see the point or the need in testing...to be honest I haven't been bothered to remind him lately and he has not had the initiative to do it himself. Was considering taking the test kit in my suitcase but will probably not be worth it....after all if he is not prepared to do it at home he is going to be even more reluctant to do it when he is on holiday.......may pack it anyway, just in case...;) Am accepting that I am perhaps losing the battle and just need to let him get on with it and suffer the consequences.......perhaps one day he will hopefully get the wake up call to make him do something about his diabetes....am hoping the orthopaedic consultant may be it.....but not convinced:( In the meantime am just getting on with my own life.....have found a new sewing project / potential business venture to throw myself into so will be busy with that:) [/QUOTE]
