2017 August Hot Shots - Are you having knee surgery in August?

[bashbago]

Rest does help, but you will too soon be back to work and pain. You have to ask yourself how much is the pain effecting my life and what I want to do. You also have to consider how long the surgery takes to heal. It will seem to hurt more than the pain from standing, but consider that this pain has an ending. The other will continue to increase and may have other side effects. It is always your decision and you will know when you have reached your limit.

I was looking at My Chart at my CT results,they scaned my left hip,knee,and ankle for my Conformis implant.I noticed that they found "fairly advanced arthritis" in my left hip. I have no pain or symptoms,so I'm not real concerned.I see my surgeon in a week,I'll see what he says.

August 21 is my right PKR (PFA). Second surgery for me due to dislocations. Previous release and reefing arthroscopy with a horrific recovery. Crossing my fingers for a speedy recovery this time around.

Any links as to what I should expect recovery wise? (blogs or journals, etc)

Admin, can you fix my screen name-it was supposed to be kneekeeper?

Hi! I'm 46 years old and am scheduled to have a TKR of my right knee on August 16th. To be honest, I am a nervous wreck! I'm hoping to find some support here, and also give my support. Thank you!

Hi all - I am thrilled to find out some info about TKR as I am scheduled for one on August 25th. I had an arthroscopy on April 24th but now my knee appears to be worse than ever. My fault though because I Had a European trip already planned and the 3 weeks recovery time from the April Arthroscopy just wasn't enough and then I walked too much while I was away.
I am in a lot of pain and I can hear my knee crunch with every step... yuck!!!
So I meet with my orthopedic surgeon on Friday to find out all about the surgery but any information I can find out before would ease my mind. I don't know what to expect afterwards.

I was scheduled in July but it was cancelled so I'm now an August Hot Shot :cool:. I have a right PKR (or maybe TKR depending on how it looks) scheduled for 12th August - fingers crossed it goes ahead this time.

Sorry about the delay in your surgery. Let's hope second time's a charm and all will go off as scheduled.
