I am very nervous. I will be done 2 weeks from today. Good luck to all who are before me. Hope all of our surgeries go perfectly.

Scheduled for TKR on left knee August 3. I am new here and not exactly tech savvy so please be patient with me! I look forward to sharing this experience with you all.

had many problems with the doctor do this surgery. I have canceled the surgery for now. A $10 brace has helped more then anything he has done. don't know what to do next

 

[bottomshollow]

@abe faxman, I have removed you from the August surgery list. I would suggest that you look for another surgeon, one who specializes in revisions.

Having a LTKR on August 13 at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, CA. First week or so of recovery will be at my sister's home since I have 26 stairs to get to my living space at home. Final pre-surgery visit with my ortho on Tuesday. Very confident in his skills and looking forward to straightening my leg out once again.

Thank u bottomswallow. Now it looks like three for tuesday. Cool. Almost done;)

 

[Poz222]

Strangely, I have had bi-lateral hip replacements and bi-lateral shoulder replacements and one hip revision and I am sooooo much more nervous about the knee replacement. I have suffered from JRA pretty much all my life and I had my first replacement at 28 years old. I am now 44 and this one has me pretty freaked out. I know once done, I will do,what I always do, plug ahead and get moving... But it's got me a bit in knots...

 

[zombie fan]

I cant wait for tuesday to come so when im up at midnight because my knee hurts so bad i cant lay down its healing pain not horrible bone on bone. I honestly cant take much more.

I'm 44 and scheduled for my first TKR on my right knee on 26th August in London. Anxious, loosing weight and wish it was next week instead
