Q: Knee Injury (Please Help)

I had 2 cartliges repaired in my left knee a year ago after falling down some stairs at work.  I am still in pain, and my private specialist sujested total knee replacement, as I have tried everything else, even Hormone Injections, nothing has worked. My Private Health Insurance has declined to approve surgery as they are saying that now my knee has Degenerative Desease, and it is not related to my Injury, and will not cover this.

After waiting all this time for my operation I have been told I cannot have it . Can someone help me please to prove that they are totally different issues.
