    Thanks for your responses Josephine. I know I am a rarity with 3 of these at my age and 10 surgeries on the same knee. I wish I could meet someone else in my boat with a happily ever after ending tale.... I would say I am a wannabe gym rat ... but I'm probably more like a mouse.... when all...

    I was taking the Tylenol every 4-6 hours but it doesn't relieve the pain so I stopped. Ooops typo- that should have read I am taking lots of MEDS (medications) for SLE and Raynaud's (including medrol 4mg) SLE: systemic lupus erythamatosis (I also take meds for unspecified colitis).

    I was told because of osteolysis that there was a risk that I could fracture my tibia/fibula not because of the loosening alone. I think it is a good idea to ask your Dr if you have concerns. My original surgeon never even told me to do! I think it was the second or third opinion physician who...

    Hi everyone, Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome and for your information. I'm exhausted from my trip to and from Manhattan today but wanted to provide an update. The surgeon's PA said the swelling is tissue rather then loose fluid surrounding the knee. Said my x-rays look good and...

    Thank you so much Celle! Just a short update - my PT says he's done all that he can for me. He said he can help me strengthen but not address the pain. When I came home I called the surgeon's office and asked if I could move up my appointment, which is currently scheduled for 8/21. Unfortunately...

    Shortie, I am not sure if this is the way to properly respond to your message. (Hope so!) Sounds like you've have an interesting journey as well. I hope you've found a good rheumatologist! I'd think these knees would last longer for us all! Best of luck to you as you figure out the best course...

    Hello everyone, I'm new to posting here but have been lurking for years. I have had 10 knee surgeries on my left knee. The last three were TKR. I had the first in 2004, second in 2010 and delayed the 2nd revision until May 24, 2018 (Smith & Nephew Hinge). I should mention that I have lupus but...
