    TKR So Far So Amazing !

    I am in London, UK. Age 55. This last Saturday, 22nd October 2106, I had a PKR (Medial) on my right knee. The plan is to do the other knee in about 2 months, the date will be dependent on the recovery of the first knee and appointment availability I had one post in the Pre Op section here...

    Update: I was listed for surgery by the NHS Registrar. In September I was told likely end of this month or November. I really wanted to have a session with the actual consultant before going ahead. He was not available on the NHS, until November, so I ended up seeing him privately about 10...

    Uncomfortable Service
