Having moved out of January due to cancellation and I've just completed yet another pre-op assessment. Small identified infection, so rapid course of antibiotics and fingers crossed for the 9th February! New Right Knee - it's been a long time coming!

 

[Whizzzzz]

I am on the schedule for February 26, 2016 @ Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. I am 45 years old and have needed my L knee replaced for about 5-7 years. Am a swimmer/cyclist/(former) runner and I have worn this L knee out.

Had a scope last Feb, (one year ago today) and my knee was "resurfaced", bone spurs ground down, cartilage (what was left) was trimmed off, ACL removed (it was torn, and hanging out free form in the joint space... it was not replaced, too much arthritis) and I had my meniscus trimmed too. By the time he was finished there was very little left in the L knee other than bones and... whatever held it together. A PCL... and an MCL I suppose.

I did Ironman Wisconsin in September (7 months post scope) and finished. Walked the whole marathon.

But now I'm cooked and there's nothing else a conventional ortho can offer. I was given a cortisone injection to get me to surgery, and now... it's almost time!! Am looking forward to rehab and eventually being pain free. It's been far too many years of constant pain, constant ADVIL or MOBIC, constant PT, constant limping, and a continually limited ROM. (I am about 90 degrees flexion and I'm 7-8 degrees from full extension in my current state) Am excited!

Finally after three long years of knee pain I am scheduled February 17th at the Mayo Clinic for BOTH knees total replacement. Scared to say the least. But I know you all will be here for me. I have gained so much confidence from reading this forum. Thank you all.

 

[Tennisfan]

Hi, my TKR is scheduled for February 23rd. I am nervous about it, most of the time I know it is the right thing to do, I have severe osteoarthritis, patella that dislocated at least seven times since I was 15 yo, remodeling if the femur, loose bone (19mm in length), but on the other hand I am only 50yo and afraid this is the beginning of a long travail. I'm very active and generally in good health.
