Wishing you the very best for a successful op & recovery afterwards. I don't think Iโ€™ve ever heard anyone complain they had a new knee so that's a big positive.

They know you know when you buy a new nightie for a hospital stay, they say she must only have old holy ones at home! Sussed you Sarah! ๐Ÿ˜˜

Hi sjhoney

My dad had both knees replaced and he is like a new man now, and recovered quickly had them done at age , 65 and 70. He said the discomfort after the op, was nothing compared to the pain he suffered before the op, good luck all will be fine.

I had a new knee a couple of years ago - not gonna lie the first two weeks pre op are the worst and as long as you do all the physio you will find it amazing. I did all the physio and now cycling, play badminton and aerobics and my knee bends fully. My mum didn't do them all and as a consequence can't bend it as far as I can. You will be amazed at the difference. All the best

All the best. My new knee is just over one year old now and is run in very nicely. So glad I had it done. I hope it will be the same for you.

Best wishes Sarah. Hope everything goes well. I went on the waiting list in March 2019 and bought some new nightwear in anticipation. Still got the tags on as I'm still waiting.๐Ÿ˜Š

How long did you wait?

Iโ€™m getting it done privately thanks to my husbands BUPA ๐Ÿ˜Š

I think Iโ€™d be waiting a while if not!

Good luck xx

I had mine done privately as well. Here in France they wouldnโ€™t do I if you hadnโ€™t taken Mtx first or the triple. Finally I found a private specialist who found a way.

Best of luck.

I get my new knee next Monday so we will be going through it all at the same time.

I got my left one done 3 years ago and it's been great ๐Ÿ˜

Thatโ€™s fab! I know thereโ€™ll be pain but Iโ€™m prepared for it. Also Iโ€™ve been in pain for years! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜„

Why have you waited for so long?

I meant generally with RA but more recently with my knee. Dmards are doing their job with the rest ๐Ÿ˜Š

Good luck you'll be dancing again soon. I sent my husband to M&S to buy me new jim jams as was an emergency inpatient. All going well I thought he can't go wrong there. He bought respectable ones only trouble was had elastalene in the fabric to itched and itched as allergic.Not funny ending up in the prisoner like hospital striped ones with the stripes made up of the name Medway Maritime Hospital and all made unisex so to long and so turned up cuffs and legs. I so wish you well. x

Hi! It went well, and Iโ€™m feeling a lot more human today!
