2025 April Rainbows - Are you having knee surgery in April?

[BoneSmart]

Welcome to our latest and all April Rainbows!

Is April the month you plan to find the pot of gold at the end of your joint replacement rainbow? Congratulations!!! And we invite you to join the BoneSmart group, April Rainbows. As a team, you will have people like yourself going through surgery at the same time to talk with. We find this works really well to deal with concerns and provide support to each other.

Feel free to post your surgery date in this thread, and we will add you to the list. Start a thread of your own in the Pre-Op Section to post comments and share your journey toward joint replacement. Here's the link that gives you the instructions you need to do this: Starting a new thread and posting

Let us know your surgery date and join the group!

Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy 3rd April. Scheduled for left leg, but I might ask for the right one to be done first. Will be repeating approximately 3 months later for the other leg. Fun times.

Hello! I am scheduled for bilateral hip replacement and partial left knee replacement on April 4th. Edit: My surgeon’s office just called and they had to postpone the procedure until April 16th.

LTKR on April 24!

@MamaBird28 Hi and Welcome! Thanks for providing us with your surgery information for April. I created a signature for you.

We recently implemented a new membership program and there are new Guidelines for Posting. You are currently a Basic Member. I hope you will choose one of our subscription options so you can start a recovery thread, officially join the April Rainbows, and receive one-on-one personal support to quickly answer any questions or concerns you may have. We’re still a non-profit organization and the small subscription cost goes toward keeping BoneSmart available for everyone.

Best Wishes!

I’m brand new to this so if this is not how I’m supposed to reply, apologies. Just wanted to wish you the best. I really want bilateral as well but have just started the research. It’s a lot. I’d love to hear how it goes for you. Thanks!

@kbginak …. Welcome to BoneSmart. If you’re looking for information, as a Basic Member you are free to use our search tools to find threads to read. We also have a lot of general joint replacement information on our website at bonesmart.org. You also can make on-topic posts on existing threads. But to be able to ask questions and receive responses on topics related to your situation, you need to be able to start your own threads. That is a premium feature which requires a subscription to the Insiders Club. I really recommend that you do that so you can receive the personalized guidance that I believe you’re looking for. Take a look at our Guidelines for Posting and Membership Page to learn more about how BoneSmart works. Please let us know if you have any questions about membership.
