im the same way.. i get to overthinking everything.. ive had 3 surgeries and my daughter has had 5 or 6 (i lost count) with one major one.. its like i have read too much! LOL
Still....I really appreciate your input. Surgery is a frightening thought and it is helpful to hear from others who have been through it. Do you have any regrets at all? I mean do you think you would of been better off if you did not have surgery at all?

Left knee replacement scheduled for Friday July 24th, @ VGH. I am really looking forward to playing golf, water-skiing and being able to walk on sand again.
Thank you. I keep having pain in the back of my knee. So bad i cant bend my leg.my knee is bone on bone and the knee cap is on the side of my knee.it always hurts.
Hi Zombie fan and Welcome!! I am new member as well. I am due to have total knee replacement on my right knee on July 28th. Regarding your complaint of pain behind the knee and bone on bone. I have the same issue (pain behind the knee) in addition to the bone on bone pain. Actually, I have it in both knees and this has been going on for about three years. I have had all of the different injections and cortisone etc. with very little positive result. I am always looking for an answer regarding pain behind the knee. I have both been told and read that it is most likely fluid build up behind the knee. Not sure if this is the exact cause as it has been difficult getting an answer. However, it seems reasonable to me. Are you planning or have you had any surgeries as of yet?
The pain behind my knee is caused by a huge baker cyst which is a cyst full of fluid from the irritation in my knee.. I am looking forward to it being gone
Pansy Thanks for your input. I have heard of this before. However, personally I do not have a lump or cyst....or at least one that is visable. I am so rooting for you for your upcoming surgery.....very brave of you to do two surgeries so close together. I will definitely be watching for your posts!!!
Thank you stefny for your support.me and you are surgery buddies same day surgery. Pansy i also may have bakers cyst behind knee l feel.big bumps.i live my life in constant pain so all my daily simple things take all my energy.im blessed with two awesome sons and a home so all else will fall in line bless all
Wishing you well Zombie Fan!! Hang in there it won't be long now. We are surgery buddy's are we? Mine is July 28. I will be watching for your posts and wishing you well!!
@Stefny You asked about anaesthetics. I had a general for my first TKR, and am having one again next week for my second. I worry about spinals, as I had one for a pain block, and the feeling did not return to either leg for 24hours longer than expected. The nurses couldn't get me to the loo and had to prop me up to sit me up. It was quite a frightening experience so I did not want to risk having a dead leg for two days.
Whichever you choose I hope all goes well for you. Mine is next Thursday.
