So the doc said...

Neil went to the doctor today. He's got "tight knees" (don't really know what that means...) and some type of build up in there (again, Neil wasn't really clear on this...) which causes the pain and loud popping noise when he bends his knees. So--Neil is on a cocktail of IB profren and glucosamine along with icing his knees twice a day for 20 minutes. He goes back to the doctor on October 21 and if this regimen does not work, he will be having orthroscopic surgery on both knees.

I probably don't have to ask, but please pray that this helps Neil so he does not have to go through with surgery. Neil is very pessimistic about the regimen helping, as he has been taking glucosamine already and it has not helped. He just wants to go ahead and have the surgery so that his pain will be gone. Thanks for all the prayers so far...keep 'em coming!
