I'm having a bilateral double knee replacement on July 26. I had arthroscopic surgery on right knee about 12 years ago and nothing since. I knew they were bad but no idea both knees were bone on bone until the orthopedic surgeon told me last month. I'm 56 yrs old and haven't been moving well for atleast 15 years now. So it will be nice to get my life back and be able to do steps without pain, walk downhill without pain, and sit on the floor and be able to get up without help :>)

Oh, thank you! I tried to write a summary about my knee issues and make a signature. But, it must me floating around in cyberspace!

I'm having it done on July 13th. I can only hope to step off a curb without fear of falling, be able to shop without a ride on, and be able to take my grandchildren places where I must walk.

Dear Bottomshollow,
I think I accidentally began a new thread when I meant to join the July Sparklers here! I actually don't know what I did...Anyway, I am so grateful to have found your site. Your encouraging and supportive words to others have been very comforting. My LTKR is scheduled for July 27, 2016. As I shared in my other post, wherever it might be, I have gone through a variety of emotions leading up to this but am trying to remain calm and positive. I'm doing each exercise the PTs have told me to do every day, and I hope these will strengthen the muscles around my knees, hips, and arms. We shall see! Thank you for your positive attitude~it helps tremendously.

Two more days! July 11 is my LTKR surgery date! Right knee done at end of February. Looking forward to two good knees!

I go in on July 20th for my LTKR....RTKR was done in November of 2013....I remember the recovery well

That time it was traditional TKR because of the disaster I had of a knee joint. This time we are doing some "quad sparing" and using a CONFORMIS knee which is actually made for my knee from a CT Scan (we really have become the Jetsons). The surgeon said my recovery will be easier this time around as the left knee, although shot, still has flexibility and the pain isn't limiting....I'm taking advantage of really good insurance which, as we all know, won't get better as the years go by.

Wishing you well and speedy recovery

Having LTKR 6/26/16. Had RTKR in August 15 and this forum helped me a lot with rehab!
There were so many questions with the first knee and all my questions were answered here!
I think,knowledge-is our strength!
