Hi all,
I have done a lot of reading on here and other areas of the web but there does not seem to be a lot of specific information for bilateral TKR.
Clearly there is some advantage to having one good leg whilst the other is recovering, but what if you don't ? I read things like "using your good leg".....
What I would really like to know from those that have had a bilateral TKR is how it went, what was needed and what 'hurdles' you faced and how you overcame them.
One of my biggest 'worries' is sleep. I have always slept on my side, usually starting on my left and finishing up on my right, have never been able t sleep on my back unless very intoxicated ! And with 2 bung knees I am not thinking that is an option !
Thanks in advance.
