2017 January Jackpots - Are you having knee surgery in January?

[msehphdjd]

LTKR on 19 January.

I have had knee problems for years. From the Army to serious hiking to long distance cycling I had always been active, always with more weight than ideal. I think that took a toll. I've been getting SynVisc alternated with cortisone for several years. In June 2016 I had a reaction and they drew about 52cc out of my right knee. I had had that one 'scoped in 2010. But, the left remains the worst so I'm doing that first. For several years the orthopedist kept telling me to "get older." After the reaction I was ready to fight and he looked at the screen and said, "We're running out of options." Boom, I had a referral and then, in September, a date. I can't wait.

@msehphdjd sounds just like me. Both equally bad, right scoped but left has always been the "bad knee". I just pray the right one holds out during this journey

Welcome @ msehphdjd. You are having surgery the same day as me but I am having both done at once. I have had to wait 12 months (due to health insurance upgrade here in Australia) so am SO ready to have it done and start the road to getting my life back!

 

[mg5457]

Left TKR Jan. 24, 2017. Right TKR within 8 weeks TBD. Very excited. I am more than ready to get my LIFE back.

TKR right knee (left was done in mid 2014)
I was scheduled for December 19th. It has been postponed until mid January, don't have exact date yet.
So pleased to have some others for the journey. This will help immensely.

 

[Mister]

@RMasano I'm having my RTKR on the 9th also. I'm very nervous, but as is the case a lot of times, my knees have gotten more painful the closer to surgery I get. I'm having my left knee done 6wks after the right. Just ready to start a life with no pain. I'm so sorry that you are housebound, that must really be hard.

 

[sargenti]

left knee TKR on January 31 2017 Glad I found this site.
