After having my draining the liquid from my knee back in July I asked if there was anything I could do to prevent the pain and swelling in my knees. Dr. Fernicola said no since it has to do with my RA. Today, I returned originally to discuss my left knee but for more than a month my right knee has been filled with liquid. After the morning greet with the Dr. he asked what I thought about surgery in my left knee to which I informed him of some personal plans that would hinder that. After informing him that I showed him my right knee that is visibly protruding with fluid and asked if he could drain it to which he said that it is a RA problem and that draining it would risk infection due to the steroids being shot into my knee. Then he proceeded to wish me luck and said there basically nothing I could do other than elevation, ice, OTC pain meds and a compression fitting. MY DISSATISFACTION WITH THIS RESPONSE REQUIRED AN INAPPROPRIATE INTERACTION. I AM BEYOND.... NEVER AGAIN!!

Great visit. Told me exactly what needed to be done and what the expected outcome would be. Gave me the steps/process to be followed. Now up to me to figure out the timing and when surgery should take place. Ready to get this knee taken care of. Thanks to him and his staff (Tiffany) for their professionalism and expertise.
