Ive had both hips replaced and it was such a relief although I e never fully regain balance so use a rollator for longer walks and shopping a a stick at home.
Ive just been told I have arthritis in my knee. Am coping with co codamol at present and gp suggested steroid injections when meds dont help. My question is has anyone had a knee replaced when both hips are already done?? If yes, how did you cope. I know we are all different

Yes friend, both hips & both knees done, she’s 82. (Lots of other health problem now & can no longer walk far )but she could walk the two miles into town after she completely healed.
