Hypertension.......Help!!!!!!!!

[munz]

what is it????? my DH is just been told he's got it. he's got to have two weeks of his knee strapped up then if that doesn't work (doubtful as he's already done 8 months of strenghtening exercises) then he's off to litchfield for 3 weeks (a physio/rehab centre) for intensive beastings, then if that doens't work it's an operation.

what's the worst that can happen? does anyone know anyone who's had the op and been OK? (he's in the army by the way)

Hypertension is high blood pressure. Are you sure it's hypertension? Not sure what his knee has to do with it

[munz]

[munz]

Hyperextension?? Sort of 'over straightening' of the knee.
