    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...

    Good morning everyone! I had both of my hips replaced a few years back, and was the best thing I ever did… Despite some problems. I now need both of my knees replaced, and have been holding off as long as possible. But I can’t walk up and downstairs without holding onto banisters, to step of...

    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 Jaycee! Thank you so much for finding out about him for me… Yes it must be that long, because my first hip replacement was about nine years ago! The hospital is Queen Alexandra in Portsmouth. I’m due to have Sterotactic radio therapy on my brain tumour in the next couple of months. After six...

    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

    Is knee replacement only for severe bone on bone arthritis?

    Oh my God Josephine! Really, is that what you think? I'm feeling devastated now. I can't cope with this pain! This gives me more pain/worry than my brain tumour. I don't know what to do now. I've seen a consultant and all he did was give me a cortisone injection. I have terrible crepitus and it...

    Is knee replacement only for severe bone on bone arthritis?

    Hi guys. I wonder if you can help me answer this question. In Nov 2015 I severely injured my knee while trying to climb a shingle bank (prior to this I had no problem with it!). I'm not sure what I did but it swelled and was very unstable and painful. I have managed it with arnica, a stretchy...

    Hello again! Had hips done, now knee?

    Hi Josephine, thank you for finding out those stats for me. What site do you use? It would be Great if you could find me a decent hip surgeon. I live in Portsmouth but I would be willing to travel of course. More pressing at the moment is the fact my knee hurts so much, and as I can no longer...

    Hello again! Had hips done, now knee?

    Hello again Josephine Sorry my sentence didn't make proper sense. I am using my phone rather than the laptop. What I meant to say was the MRI results showed that I had a torn meniscus, and a small ganglion and water on my knee and arthritis I did have an xray at first and I believe that that...

    Hello again! Had hips done, now knee?

    Hiya Jaycey Thanks for remembering me! It's a better type of brain tumour to have, more likely to be non malignant than some, but it's pressing and causing me lots of problems. Unfortunately due to its location they can't operate on either. But I am hoping to have something called gamma knife...
