Considering knee replacement surgery but ....
My main concern about
knee
surgery
revolves around during and after-surgery medication, infections, steroids and any decrease in kidney function. With my creatine increasing from 1.8 to 2.0 over 7 year, my Nephrologist has told me I should not need dialysis in my lifetime.

I need advice about taking Hydroxycarbamide
I’m 70 years old and just been diagnosed with ET Jak2. I’ve been put on 500 mg of Hydroxycarbamide but I’ve just received my script and read the leaflet and side effects and I’m afraid to start them. I had a knee replacement 5 months ago and took a blood clot followed by night sweats and a viral infection

Knee relacement
Hi, I have osteoarthritis in my left knee and am now scheduled for a half knee replacement in a couple of weeks time. I was wondering if anyone has had one recently? I am wondering how long it will take to recover and any other useful insights people might have?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me with some advice. Unfortunately, because I am under 60 years of age, I have basically been told I will not get a knee replacement until I am 60 or over, but I am now unable to weigh bare because of my knees, and I do mean unable to even put any

Missing a day of Zytiga
Is it a big deal to miss a day of Zytiga+Pred? I’m having a knee replacement on Monday and I’m not supposed to have any food in the AM.

PD and orthopedic surgeries
I’m debating having a partial
knee
replacement (for patella femoral arthritis) AND/OR Morton’s neuroma
surgery
. I really need both, but am very concerned about not being able to exercise, the way I usually do, for at least a few months.

Help Please 🙏🏻
Hi everyone, I desperately need the advice of people who can understand my situation. I am afraid for the first time since I became ill in 1990 that I am at my wits end and simply do not know what to do. I had a cavernous haemangioma removed from my nasal cavity in February. I suffered a haemorrhage

Total Knee Replacement
Hi Hope everyone is well. I need a bit of advice.- I've been given a date for my knee replacement..it's in August and will be done in north London at a good NHS hospital. They have a centre for elective surgery and to be honest it's probably the best hospital option available to me. But for anyone

Upright walkers!
My 1st experience with an upright Walker was when I was rehabilitating after my
knee
surgery
. I only used it once but I loved it because I felt so secure in it and didn't have the fear of falling like I always did with my smaller, shorter walker.
