Of all times for my knee issues to come up, it was on trip of a lifetime to London. Got back to US and find out I have bone to bone on right knee, not much better on left. Arthritis, and I had no idea.
Because of insurance issues I have to have services (because both knees will be need to be done soon) after beginning of year 2018. Ended up that the first surgeon I went to was NOT in-network with insurance (he opened new service but still showed up as his old service address) . I now have another appointment with an in-network surgeon Dec 19th.
I'm so glad I found this site. It is so depressing having to deal with all the pain but, hopefully, the light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train!!
Won't have much more info until new surgeon appt but do want to find out from him how soon after first TKP will he do 2nd knee.
I'm lucky in that I am able to sleep at night, in the right position. But I just want to start having to deal with surgery pain and not the arthritic pain!!
