What was your physical situation judged by the doctor or physio before the operation? All these you should have a picture of and how they effect the operation and what you should do to support the healing process afterwards and what problems you have if you Don’t. I was not told about the other bad knee and the effect of the burden of support.I was not told of the good condition of muscles and body after regular Excersize..This was a problem afterwards and took time to redoing. We are too often left on our own to calculate the whole situation.Its not an easy op and should be thought through thoroughly 🥵We are often lead to believe that’s it it’s much easier apiece of cake!

Wishing you less pain!
