    Ache and restless.........

    Please anyone. It has been about 2 1/2 months and I'm doing pretty well although my upper and lower leg aches and my knee still hurts here and there on the knee itself. Is this normal? Should I expect pain for some time? Jayne

    Hello everyone! I have not had much time to write on the board but I try to at least see how you are doing. I am almost 8 weeks out and I just saw my surgeon last Friday. I wanted to get feed back from anyone as to what he said and get your imput. He said I'm doing too much during the day...

    First time since I decided to have surgery on both knees, I fell apart yesterday. Everything irriated me. My nerves are shot and I'm sick in my stomach. I went to see my family doctor and he was concerned about my hemogloblin and wanted me to get a Procrit shot to boost my blood. NOW he...

    Picking a Surgeon?

    Considering this is not something one does often, I was wondering how each of you choose your surgeon. I guess I'm asking because I like my surgeon but, I'm hoping he is the one I need personally. I don't want to have anyone else because I have only heard positive things about him. He is not...

    How long is surgery.......

    for both of my knees to be replaced? I am rather thin and have very little knees. I just wondered if that would help me to be done faster or maybe that doesn't matter at all. Also, I wonder if the fact I did aerobics and running increased my chances of having this surgery at all? Thanks for...

    Reject your Knee........

    Has anyone ever heard of someone rejecting their knee? I often wonder about that because it is a foreign object in your body. Just wondering or maybe I'm over thinking. Jayne

    Losing My Mind!

    For some reason I could not post another question and thank goodness I am able. I feel so out of touch with all of you! My surgery is in 2 months on June 4th, 09. My surgeon requested that I get the cortisone shots twice before surgery and the 1st did work for 3 weeks. I'm due for the next...
