Jordan had a scope done on his knee today to hopefully finally fix it. It was a very short surgery, and the dr. seemed very optimistic. He found a bunch of scar tissue right near his IT band (which is where last surgery was done) and removed it. He said this is what has been causing his pain for the last 3 years. Jordan was most likely born with this scar tissue or it developed by age 18. He said there isn't much literature on removing this scar tissue but the patients he has done this with have all been fixed. It is a rare thing he said so that's why no other doctor has mentioned this before. We are hoping he is right!
Jordan says purple is his color. haha
He is doing okay now. He is in quite a bit of pain, which I was wasn't expecting. The last surgery he had (which was much more invasive than this one), he hardly experienced any pain. The pain pills are not doing much for him so hopefully tomorrow will be better.
