Knee replacement
Hello, everyone Am writing to ask for advise and insight regarding full knee replacement. Have any on the forum had a full knee replacement? I am due one in a little under 6 weeks. Having lots of reservations about going ahead because my health has taken such a battering in the last 3.5 years. Overweight

Toes, ankle, and knee... oh my! My Dr. is buying a Ferarri!
Okay, it's lower extremities week, so far, I'll have the the hammer toes pinned (insurance approved) in December. The Carbon fiber AFO snapped when I stepped off the edge of a sidewalk, many little pieces of carbon fiber were stuck down into the ankle and lower leg, leg &ankle are patched up, STRONGER

ossible Relapse
I feel I may have PMR again after two years off pred. However CRP and ESR within normal limits. Have had a tkr 7 weeks ago and saw my othopaedic consultant few days ago who said he would ask GP to give a short dose of steroids (he thought symptoms maybe from using crutches) Has anyone had short dose

AF and knee surgery
Hello! I wonder if anyone can help… it looks like I need a knee replacement, and as I have AF I know the procedure would be done with a spinal block rather than general anaesthetic. However, I just wondered if anyone has experience of AF and knee surgery, and if so any advice/information would be much

knee surgery and Atrial Fibrillation
hello, it looks like I’m in need of a knee replacement and wondered if anyone with A Fib has experience of this. I’m aware it would be carried out with a spinal block rather than a general anaesthetic, but has anyone had any problems post surgery? Thanks!

Different ALC numbers
So today I went for a pre admission appointment for my knee replacement. Had to have a CBC for that and my Gp had also ordered one . So they were both done on the same draw. For one the result was ALC was 90.4 and for the other 97.5. All other numbers were within the normal range. Just wondering how

itchy red, warm scalp. Also psoriatic or rheumatoid if you are sero-negative?
Hi guys I'm sero-negative. My big joints were affected first - had right knee replacement and hip replacement six months later aged 54 and although initially recovered well from knee replacement - couldn't sit to stand from chair, loo etc and couldn't get of crutches. Had lots of symptoms but still

Knee replacement
I have ET and am concerned about getting knee replacement surgery and the chance of blood clots. I read that the average blood loss is 800 ml. Has anyone gotten this surgery and how did it go?

I have a need for total knee replacement- have already had arthroscopy on my meniscus and now bone on bone with arthritis on more than 60% of the femur/tibia. It has affected my life such that I want to have this procedure

I haven’t posted in some time but we saw the Heptologist this week and he has confirmed that my husband has gone from decompensated cirrhosis and a Child’s Pugh score of 10 to 6 or A. He has taken him off nearly all meds he still had diuretics and Lapsoprazole. He said he is good to fly as well. I

Pain medication advise - Gabapentin
Firstly, I understand no one can give medical advice. But any help in the right direction would be gratefully received. I have a knee replacement followed by a manipulation last week. I didn't get to speak to the surgeon afterward but my discharge notes said I needed adequate pain relief. I am struggling

Running after surgery
Has anyone re-started running after surgery, especially knee surgery? I had an op to repair a torn #meniscus but keep feeling twinges around the joint which makes me feel nervous about attempting to run again.

Swollen leg leaves me frustrated
So a short bit of background: I travel to Maine in U.S. every August to "climb", hike, swim (float really) and kayak. Last year was rough and I mostly kayaked as my ACL's and MCL's (medial cruciate ligaments) in both knees are torn. This year I only managed two tiny mountains 5 days apart and bam,
