Total Knee Replacement Finally
I am finally having my right TKR surgery on 5th February, all being well. In short when I was 23 I was ‘immortal and bullet proof’ or so I thought. After landing from a 6/8ft jump straight legged onto concrete, I very quickly learned in complete agony, that I was not. Two lots of keyhole surgery and

Knee advice needed
I’m now five months post
total
knee
replacement
and am still having problems which I have no idea are normal or not. My knee is still numb on the outer aspect and sitting even for short periods means the knee is incredibly stiff and it’s difficult to stand momentarily.

income options while waiting for treatment
My doctor referred the question to the orthopaedic surgeon who said I will need a

but once it’s done I should be fine therefore it isn’t permanent, which basically leaves me unemployed and unlikely to get any employment with the deteriorating state of my health, no income and unable

Total Knee Replacement and CLL Connected?
Hi Everyone. I was diagnosed w/CLL in July 2021. I'm on Calquence.

I had 9 months ago. It was the lying still for hours. The cardiologist kept saying try not to move your legs. Very uncomfortable procedure indeed.

HELP, PLEASE??!!
I just had a
total
knee
replacement
. For 3 years now buprenorphine has helped, but today I took hydromorphone for pain that my surgeon prescribed, Nexium that my family doctor recommended to take to keep the aspirin I have to take postop to keep from getting ulcers, and cyclobenzaprine.

Osteoarthritis and Spinal Stenosis
I've been taking Pregablin (600mg daily).After a
total
knee
replacement
a friend said she was on Duloxitene and felt marvelous. I thought I would try them and I feel so dizzy. I asked doctor if I could go back on Pregablin and she said she wasn't allowed to prescribe pregablin now.

This might be found useful?
I was on here quite a bit after a
total
knee
replacement
two years ago. Nothing much seemed to help that wasn't either an opoid or some other harsh drug.

I was shocked to be told I need a
total
knee
replacement
- it’s OA I have in my knee and it’s bone on bone hence the pain. If I’d come to him even a year ago - I might have been able to lose weigh etc and buy more time - but too late now.
