Difficult times

I was fortunate and had a very successful total knee replacement last December and am on the list for the other one to be done ASAP. My shoulders are so painful, my fingers and thumbs are driving me mad and I have numbness and pins and needles in my left arm and hand.I was fortunate and had a very successful total knee replacement last December and am on the list for the other one to be done ASAP.

My total knee replacement and recovery is going quite well according to my surgeon so far. It has been only 3 1/2 months. A terrific gift. Even on my off-days with my MS, my walking, standing and bending has greatly improve.My total knee replacement and recovery is going quite well according to my surgeon so far.

Hi there

I am waiting for a total double knee replacement so an opportunity to get fitter and lose the ten stones I have gained through inactivity was amazing. Then my Rheumatologist doubled my Lupus medication causing cysts on my maculars so my medication was stopped dead in June last year.I am waiting for a total double knee replacement so an opportunity to get fitter and lose the ten stones I have gained through inactivity was amazing.

Happy 35th Wedding Anniversary

So far I have reached the milestones they were hoping I would achieve after 4-5 months for my total knee replacement surgery. I have bad insomnia, spasms and nerve pain through this recovery thus far but I am still pleased.So far I have reached the milestones they were hoping I would achieve after 4-5 months for my total knee replacement surgery.

Do you have any advice about avoiding heated legs following an operation.

Needing advice about RLS (restless legs syndrome) and operations I had arthritis in a knee and needed a total knee replacement. Thinking of my RLS, I was concerned that I they might cause problems as they always to kick when they're hot. After the operation I'd need to keep my legs under control.Needing advice about RLS (restless legs syndrome) and operations I had arthritis in a knee and needed a total knee replacement.

GOOD NEWS FOR ONCE

Concurrently major probs with cartilage tears in L knee, followed by 2 arthroscopic repairs and eventual total knee replacement in Feb this year. Complications including two areas of tendonitis, which seems to be more common with PMR. So what’s changed?Concurrently major probs with cartilage tears in L knee, followed by 2 arthroscopic repairs and eventual total knee replacement in Feb this year.

Update TKR

I am a month out of tkr . I was really worried that my lymphedema would cause my situation to be worse. However, it has been pretty good. When i woke from surgery, I was wrapped from thigh to ankle that helped to keep excessive swelling to a minimum. My knee is slowly doing better, but there are daysI am a month out of tkr .

TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

Unfortunately, there is a small amount of arthritis showing on the other side of the knee so it is going to be a total knee replacement. Have managed to come to a suitable date for the surgery as 28th August 2019 with the pre- assessment and physio on 19th August.Unfortunately, there is a small amount of arthritis showing on the other side of the knee so it is going to be a total knee replacement.
