    Hi JaceyI weighed again this morning… And I’m definitely only have to lose 5 lb, so I’m going to get that ball rolling. I have an operation on the 6th of February to have a gastric band removed, and then after that I’m going to get everything sorted… The Mets are keeping me safe! So very...

    Hi… Thank you for your reply. It’s not been an easy road, The hip replacements looking back were manageable… Although one was much worse than the other, I had a subluxation with the first one… Because I had left it so long, it didn’t help that I had so little strength and muscle there. And then...

    Hi @Jaycey , So sorry I forgot to reply to this! I was given one, and then I cancelled it due to being so worried about it, another date came up, but my surgeon no longer works for the NHS, which is such a shame. He only does private work now, but as I had previously been referred to him I was...

    TKR Op surgery anesthesia

    Hi there… I had spinals for both of my hips. You have absolutely nothing to be worried about, you just ask them to be nicely sedated so you don’t hear or smell anything. It was much better than any anaesthesia operation I’ve ever had, and you have the benefit of waking up to absolutely no pain…...

    TKR Hi! New knee needed

    Hi Leejaa’, Thank you very much for that insight! I have already decided that I was get a riser recliner as it was so helpful for my hips. I seem to be hearing the same message which is to go very gently with the physio! Thank you will take that on board

    TKR Hi! New knee needed

    Hi pumpkin Thank you, I guess everybody is in the same boat. I found out yesterday that Josephine has retired, but glad to see Jaycee is still here! Now that’s commitment I would dearly love to find out if my surgeon is any good. He is certainly personable and I really like him on a personal...

    TKR Hi! New knee needed

    Hi Leejaa good for Josephine for retiring… I’m sure she deserves to her feet up. She was brilliant though, and so so helpful! Thank you for your post and links to things I need to read. Yes I do have a cane, but rarely go out on my own, I’m quite unsteady on my feet and have a brain tumour...

    Is knee replacement only for severe bone on bone arthritis?

    Thanks for your replies guys. The consultant only said what I mentioned earlier, he didn't really say much more except give me a cortisone injection. I have iced and elevated it, but will do more if you think that will help? I've left a message with his secretary asking for X-rays etc but...

    Is knee replacement only for severe bone on bone arthritis?

    Do you think a different operation would help. one that deals with the meniscus tear. I am going to call up the secreatry and ask for a copy of the report and the MrI and xray records and will come bak here for advice. Tanny x
