in may 2001,i got knocked down by a taxi,resulting in crucial ligament damage to both knee,s after treatment and being under a specialist(mr r paton) for 6 years i have been informed that i am not old enough for knee cap replacement (due to the bone splintering and rubbing away) but i am to old for steroid injections and key hole surgery,they can put a tube in my knee,s and suck the bits of bone out,but it will be another 6 years on the waiting list for a replacement operation,so to put it mildly being in limbo is not the word i would use,
