Knee replacement surgery 6th October

Thanks. I'm getting used to the idea. I was just used to a sore knee though and thought that was it. Oh well. Onwards. You are inspirations for us!

7 weeks post op, walking fine, no crutches , no walking stick and discharged by physio and saw surgical team yesterday and will see them again in12 months. Don't worry too much.

When i had my hip done, I was amazed that I could walk the following day and manage stairs the day after that. It took about a year for 100% recovery to the point where I had forgotten about having a replaced hip and did everything normally without any care.

Had a hip & knee replaced , magic. My other hip has suddenly become very painful, waiting x-ray result to find out if tha has to be replaced.

No need to feel nervous, worn out joints can only get worse, replacement may be traumatic for a short while, but you will soon be up and about without any pain. I have had general and spinal anesthetic, would go for the spinal block every time, but you can hear everything that is happening.

Am in same boat Suem. Very apprehensive and in a state of shock really. Somehow I didn't think it would come to this.

Lots of good luck to you.
I had one knee done over ten years ago and it was completely succesful. I could dance two weeks later.
Now I am on a waiting list to have the other one done.
I had my second pre-operation assessment yesterday so it is just a matter of waiting now.
It's understandable that you are nervous. But there is a very high probability that you will be absolutely fine.
It's all over quicker than you think and you can start life again without all that pain.
I shall be interested to hear how you get on.

Just recovering, doing fine, will PM you as just going out
