2014 March Musketeers - Are you having knee surgery in March?

[Derby]

Hi Leebee! I'm having a RTKR on March 5. We're getting close aren't we?!

I'm two weeks away! Spent the day getting some of those things marked off my list. My poor left knee (the non surgical knee) hurts worse than my right! It takes all the abuse.

I have brought forward this month's list so that you can easily see who your surgical buddies are.

Welcome to our latest and all March Musketeers!

However, please start a thread of your own in the Pre-Op Hip Section to post comments and share your journey toward knee replacement.

March 6 RTKR

 

[Beachwalker]

I am planning to have a total knee replacement on the 28th March. Feeling a bit nervous but looking forward to no longer having a dodgy knee.

 

[BoneyBaloney]

I am having a revision from L partial to total knee replacement on March 25. I also have a R total knee which was done back in 2002.

[Mai5ie]

Surgery booked for 20th March! So scared

 

[cjf1222]

My surgery is March 19 and I feel the same way. I have read all the important articles recommended on Bonesmart and this has helped with realistic expectations and HOPE! We are, however, human. I had an anxiety attack today but I'm sure that is not uncommon. I think it is fear of the unknown. Touching base with those who have done very well with their replacements has helped a lot. Also the advise not to push the knee beyond what you can do has helped, as in the US the PTs are really big on the "no pain, no gain" philosophy. I will not let them have control over my body in that way!

 

[Mai5ie]

I've read everything I can lay my hands on, so I ought to be prepared. Being given a date somehow makes everything seem more real though. Good to know I'm not alone.

 

[msleen]

March 31st here

@Mai5ie and @msleen, you have both been officially added to the March surgery list!

 

[26morgan]

My TKR is scheduled for March 19. Right knee was replaced June 2012. This year it is the left to be done. I'm not looking forward to having this surgery. So I'm looking for support.
