So worried about surgery and recovery

I'm scheduled for surgery(arthroscopy) in a week and I'm so scared. The last time I had arthroscopy with general anesthesia was when my COPD came into full blown existence(I had a problem with going up hill but otherwise not SOB-then after 2 blocks winded).I'm scheduled for surgery(arthroscopy) in a week and I'm so scared.

Bad Knees ☹️ Organising my time🧐W4R2

I’ve always had dodgy knees, had an arthroscopy on one about 12 years ago and was told I had arthritis of an 80 year old ! Mmmm I didn’t like news but I knew I had to keep them strong.I’ve always had dodgy knees, had an arthroscopy on one about 12 years ago and was told I had arthritis of an 80 year old !

C25K Second time around

I had a right knee arthroscopy back in November accompanied by a Baker’s cyst which took a long time to clear up. However I have started over and am now at W5R1 and it’s all going well.I had a right knee arthroscopy back in November accompanied by a Baker’s cyst which took a long time to clear up.

1st rheumy update

No arthroscopy for ankle & no miniscus repair in knee. Get a brace but procedures too risky at this time he said. Very direct and serious but cute - I'd take him fishing. Lol Hubby liked him too. We are sad, but I've learned to be a warrior.No arthroscopy for ankle & no miniscus repair in knee. Get a brace but procedures too risky at this time he said.

Gca RX risk benefit

I was scheduled for ankle arthroscopy yesterday &miniscus for knee in a few weeks but he said "No" to any surgeries for extended time. I have suspected glaucoma & now I'm taking pred that can cause glaucoma. Pred & antibiotics so bad for belly.I was scheduled for ankle arthroscopy yesterday &miniscus for knee in a few weeks but he said "No" to any surgeries for extended time.

Should I or shouldn’t I increase my Prednisone?

I have got an extremely sore and swollen knee,as previously mentioned.Two visits to the doctor have resulted in one x Ray ...”Normal” and a referral to the muscular clinic for an Arthroscopy (I don’t think this is a good idea but never mind).Are knees ever involved in PMR or is this a separate problemI have got an extremely sore and swollen knee,as previously mentioned.Two visits to the doctor have resulted in one x Ray ...”Normal” and a referral to the muscular clinic for an Arthroscopy (I don’t think this is a good idea but never mind).Are knees ever involved in PMR or is this a separate problem

Help.

I was also needing an arthroscopy which the anaesthetist cancelled a couple of times because my TSH was not 'in range' (it was suppressed, which I feel ok with). So, they messed around with my meds until they got the TSH to where they could do the operation (it was 5 - (0.27- 4.20).I was also needing an arthroscopy which the anaesthetist cancelled a couple of times because my TSH was not 'in range' (it was suppressed, which I feel ok with).

I felt so smug....

No problems at all since the A-Flutter last August then the A-Fib in September triggered by the catheter ablation. That will teach me, woke up about 2.00am feeling odd, eventually got the Kardia out about 6.00 am and sure enough 160 bpm and in Fibrillation.

PE after knee surgery and complications

He has to stay on apixiban for another 5 weeks and has already had one arthroscopy to remove the blood, but 10 days later it looks as though it's filling up again.He has to stay on apixiban for another 5 weeks and has already had one arthroscopy to remove the blood, but 10 days later it looks as though it's filling up again.

On W7. Injured knee 22nd Sept Just found out I've done 6 weeks with a Torn Meniscus

Had arthroscopy several years ago on the other knee. I don't want to stop doing the programme. I am aware jogging is more impact than walking. I'm certain my GP will advise I stop. But torn meniscus don't ever heal and I will no doubt have another arthroscopy.Had arthroscopy several years ago on the other knee. I don't want to stop doing the programme.

Off the road at 76

In November I had an arthroscopy to repair a torn meniscus in my right knee joint. Shortly after the Op. a Baker’s cyst in my knee ruptured causing my lower leg, ankle and foot to swell up and become very painful. I rushed off to A&E thinking I had a DVT. Fortunately that was not the case.In November I had an arthroscopy to repair a torn meniscus in my right knee joint.

Gabapentin discontinuation and sudden increase in pain

Both the doctor and surgeon suggest hip arthroscopy surgery. Here’s the kicker; although the mri did show the RIGHT hip as slightly inflamed, it was not the hip that was giving me the sudden pain. Within just 48 hours that hip is just as sore and weak as the left hip was!Both the doctor and surgeon suggest hip arthroscopy surgery.

Life’s challenges

Went to see the orthopaedic consultant today who said I am probably going to need a hip arthroscopy for a possible labrial tear so I’m now waiting for another CT scan just to confirm the diagnosis.Went to see the orthopaedic consultant today who said I am probably going to need a hip arthroscopy for a possible labrial tear so I’m now waiting for another CT scan just to confirm the diagnosis.

Knee arthroscopy six year ago

However, my right knee is beginning to make itself felt (not painful) as I had a successful arthroscopy six years ago. I'm hoping I shouldn't have to stop because of this. I put a support on it today, but still felt it. Has anyone else had something similar? Any advice?However, my right knee is beginning to make itself felt (not painful) as I had a successful arthroscopy six years ago. I'm hoping I shouldn't have to stop because of this.

Knee arthroscopy - 1st consultant appointment

Hi, 12 weeks ago I injured my knee, I have a large bucket handle tear of my meniscus, the loose bit of cartridge has been trapped up inside the joint and I've not been able to fully bend or straighten my knee or walk properly on it since it happened. It's been horribly painful.

Warm Up Exercises

I also had an arthroscopy on both knees in 2000. I’m about to start Couch to 5k and would really appreciate any hints/tips (eg re warming up or anything else) before I get started.

Trials and tribble-ations

And after having had an arthroscopy on my left knee three years ago, I'm not in a rush to surf the injury couch for six months and have to go back to the beginning again. So, a a walk home through the woods after a 2.8k run.And after having had an arthroscopy on my left knee three years ago, I'm not in a rush to surf the injury couch for six months and have to go back to the beginning again.
