Hi all, back at home yesterday after wonderful care in our local hospital in France. I have to say the healthcare over here is wonderful. Had first physio appointment today and will be seeing her twice a week. My query is for others who have had this op and had to stop their biologic (I’m on Imraldi

I had a total knee replacement 3 weeks ago. Very painful, but persevering with the exercises and so far, so good. I take 4.5 mg Prednisilone, down from 15mg in June 2023. I have paused tapering after the surgery and would like advice on when to resume. Thank you for your advice.

I. had a total knee replacement last June and still have pain from that but at least it doesn't give way now.Can anyone give me advice on preparation and feedback on whether it worked for them please.

I had right total knee replacement surgery on 17th September so just over 2 weeks post op now. I was really scared beforehand especially with having to stop Baracitinib a week before. I know everyone is different but I feel so lucky. So far I’ve managed the pain with paracetamol and codiene.

11 years ago, just before all this AF malarkey started, I had a total knee replacement. After surgery I had to self inject Fragmin for about 14 days. Other knee has recently failed spectacularly and I am due to have ‘TKR - the sequel’ next month with same surgeon.

Must admit I am a,bit apprehensive as to what I can do as,had a,total knee replacement in March and it's a,little painful still.

I personally lucked out because of good friends who go to the gym three days a week and they pick me up to go with them. 15 months later I feel so much better, I stand up straighter, I feel prepared for my Total Knee Replacement in a couple of weeks, and people tell me how much better I look.

It has been almost 4 months since my total knee replacement and progress is slow with the occasional setback, but I am happy to be making any progress at all.

I had a TKR in my right knee at the end of October was discharged after 4 days usual pains and aches associated with knee replacement, but now after 7nweeks I'm up and about more I'm getting pain in both shins just above the top of my feet as you follow the big toe up .

I underwent total knee replacement surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago due to severe osteoarthritis of my knee. A few days before surgery, I temporarily stopped apixaban but resumed it 24 hours after the procedure. Since then, I’ve had no issues with AFl despite the intense recovery process.

I had a left knee replacement surgery April 10th this year.

I thought this was triggering my severe RLS since I had a total knee replacement in November , 2023. My RLS is off the rail . I want an Iron infusion, but the health group I belong to, does not believe I need this?

By the way, I am 5 weeks post total knee replacement, jerky legs are not good as an aide to recovery from this frankly brutal surgery. The Ugly: Zero response from him to the good news.

.- 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.

Over the last few years I have been trying to hold off a total knee replacement. (TKR) I was walking more to strengthen my muscles to support my knee and managed to ditch the brace and the crutch. I walked a mile every day for Dementia UK.

I am currently on a waitlist for a total knee replacement (TKR) and have been diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial flutter/atrial fibrillation (AF/AFL).

The problem is that he now needs total knee replacement for both knees. We have a very long awaited appointment with Neurology nurse in October to discuss the wisdom etc of undergoing the surgery.

And I still have to get out and walk for 30 minutes twice or three times every night In March of last year I had a total knee replacement as a result of which I have contracted lymphodema in my left lag and ankle I already had bruised bones in my ankle which made walking painful and difficult
