Post op checkup

Today i was back to the hospital to have a 1 week checkup, and to get my stitches out.
After the usual long-winded queuing system to get my file and see the specialist, i was directed to dr Arnold, one of the operating surgeons with my op.
I spoke to him about the continued pain in the side of my knee, and he suggested that an EMG might be the answer to see if there were indeed any trapped nerves near the fibula head.
An ElectroMyoGram, is basically a nerve conductive test, where they check the condition of the nerves, and can tell you whether any damage has occurred or not.
He signed the necessary forms, and booked me in next wednesday for the test procedure at a clinic down the road from the hospital.
I asked about getting the stitches removed and he told me they were dissolving stitches and not to worry.
So, the knee pain saga continues...lets hope that the next set of tests reveals something...
