Lisa Wallace, 63, loves to garden, camp and mountain bike, but experienced gradual knee issues for years.
The pain came and went and was manageable, but when a Doberman ran into her sideways at a dog park and left her with a broken right knee, it brought the situation to a head.
While Wallace — who works at MultiCare Auburn Medical Center — was receiving cortisone injections to temporarily ease the pain in her right knee, her left knee was compensating and started acting up.
“Eventually, the pain was constant and excruciating,” she says. “I tried to power through it, but I could barely walk. I couldn’t garden or ride my bike.”
