I received a letter from my Ortho doc, the one I had asked to write a Nexus letter stating that my left knee condition is due to overuse of my right knee, which is 30% S/C. He stated in the letter that it was Not connected due to looking over my charts, it is noted that I injured the left knee while playing tennis...I tore my meniscus , don't remember if it was playing tennis or getting up from a chair, but this all did not start until AFTER I started having surgeries on the S/C right knee...What I am trying to get at is : even if I had an injury to the NON S/C knee and then began having multiple surgeries, ending up with a TKR on the right knee, the NON S/C knee kept getting worse..I ended up with 3 scopes and a TKR. I have a doctor that states the reason for the NON TKR is due to over use of the TKR S/C....is there a way I can state that? I am a bit confused! Thank you!
