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

Total knee replacement and AF
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.

Post total knee replacement
Anyone who has had a
total
knee
replacement
had more pain in the hip area than the knee. Having a job to keep my knee straight at night as keep waking up every hour with tremendous pain in the hip and end up getting up and having a walk round. It's inhibiting my physio as well.

19 days post op - been very tough especially when COVID thrown into the mix! My muscle tone wasn’t great pre-op but is now nonexistent. Is it possible to build muscle tone with PMR? Without PMR it’s possible to build good muscle tone with regular exercises but no matter how frequently I do my post op

Total knee replacement?
I have RA, diagnosed at Christmas 2020. I also have buggered knees - I believe that is the correct medical term - that pre-date the RA diagnosis. At my last (final?) RA consultation the consultant showed me a beautiful X-ray of my knees. Nice bones, absent cartilage. He had previously mentioned knee

Post Total Knee Replacement with RA
Hello I would like to thank everyone that was supportive for my
total
knee
replacement
. As someone on this site said It’s a 🐻 bear and they were right. I had lots of nerve pain from when I woke up in recovery to now which is 11 weeks.

ITCHING
I had
total
knee
replacement
4 weeks ago, my knee is swollen and my lower leg and foot is is swollen. My skin is very dry in those areas. Obviously, I have swelling because of the surgery but also because of the Lymphoedema so decided to get back to my ritual for Lymphoedema.

Total knee replacement, if and when?
I am looking for comments on my decision to delay my
total
knee
replacement
until I am either suffering too much pain or my mobility becomes to restricted. I am 71 and suffered from arthritis in both knees for over Forty years. The right one has been the worse, until 2020.

Total knee replacement - 6 weeks on
Hi Today is my 6 week anniversary of having my TKR on my right knee. I'm keen to start driving again and wondered if I need to get the go ahead from the physio first or what is the protocol? My understanding was that if you can do an emergency stop you can drive. I have an automatic car so I'll be

PMR again ?
Also, my husband had a
total
knee
replacement
17 days ago and it has been a rough ride for him (and me !). I would be grateful for your advice as to whether to try pred again and, if so, how much ? Many thanks.

Low dose aspirin
Went for pre assessment for
total
knee
replacement
a few weeks before Christmas and blood test showed my iron levels had dropped, so now going for iron infusion at local hospital this afternoon.

low immunoglobulins and knee replacement
I’m contemplating
total
knee
replacement
. My concern is that my immunoglobulins have sunk below normal range - but not low enough to start infusions. Has anyone else had to consider this? What recommendations were made to you? Did you go ahead with surgery? Did you have complications?

Total Knee Replacement tips with RA
Hi I am wondering if I can get any tips or recovery advice from members with Rheumatoid Arthritis that have had
total
knee
replacements. I have an upcoming knee
replacement
in November. I will have to stop my Humira I think, so any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
