Yes, that is correct, adhesions behind both knee caps. The dr. said that he has seen this in alot of patients that have had back surgery. He did not know why, only that this is something that he has noticed. Helen, it is really nice to talk to you, I have been impressed with your knowledge. I am in Texas, where are you? I usually get on the system early in the morning and around 7-8:00 at night. Talk to you soon.
