I'm sorry you are in constant pain. Have you looked into medical tourism in India? I don't know much about medical procedures, but from your comment about there not being a doctor in Thailand who could do the surgery, I thought possibly what you are referring to is a graft--anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. It's kind of weird how the sites for Indian surgery talk about "packages" but I was a bit interested that if you fill out a simple form they usually can give a price quote. http://www.indiamedicaltourism.n et/

LOL my kind of "concern" is not what you need. But I echo Gayle's feelings of love for you. I wish you godspeed.
