    Hello everybody, here I am again five and a half years after my RTKR and 16 months after my kneecap resurfacing with a Vanguard button.

    A late Christmas present for me: As most of you will know, I have been struggling with an inability to walk unaided following a right knee replacement in November 2018. In January this year, I had the kneecap relined in an effort to solve the problem. In my naivety, I expected to be walking ok...

    Saw Mr Zahn today, I have to say he is an excellent consultant. He says I have nothing to worry about and that I will continue to improve over the next year. He says I am unique and my recovery is conditioned by my inherent disability. I am much reassured and will double up on exercises to speed...

    Sometimes I don't know whether I'm on my backside or elbow with this knee. In the last month the "stunned" feeling in my leg has disappeared and the strength in the leg increased quite a bit: I have been testing using bathroom scales how much weight I can support on the leg. 10 days ago it was...

    @Jaycey: Don't quite know what to do right now. Three options. 1) Go to GP; 2) Consult Mr Zahn 3) Consult a Neurosurgeon? Problem is further complicated by the fact that for the last 5-6 years I have had "pins and needles" in my hands with "pruney" fingers and some loss of sense of touch. I...

    Hello, everybody, It is some five months since I have updated my status here. I do so wish I could now say that I am walking without pain or difficulty but, alas, I cannot. On the plus side moving about using a walker or furniture hopping is easier than in May. I don't suffer much pain, the...
