    Not sure I am ready to have surgery

    Minnie x I knew it was time for me when the thought of being in a wheelchair for the rest of my life was not scaring me but getting me excited. The thought of no more pain, no more not being able to stand, not being able to walk, not having to do the housework or go shopping and becoming...

    Yep, your knee will tell how to proceed. Rest as much as you can, elevate and ice. We have no control over the healing process and have to be guided by what the knee says. Good luck.:flwrysmile:

    TKR New thread for a new knee !

    Nana x The outside of both my knees are numb, apparently this is to do with the actual cutting procedure during the op.

    Nana x Both my knees are progressing at different stages. Both my legs were bent, unable to straighten them due to OA and I had my right one done first, I still have pain on inner side of knee, not debilitating like before but its niggling me in the back of my mind.
