Thanks for the welcome guys.I had suffered from arthritis in my knee for many years,following a car crash when I broke my femur.I had struggled for the last 2 years as the bone on bone pain became unbearable.Had my op at the Nuffield,Stockton on Tees.Do you know it Josephine.It was through the NHS at North Tees Hospital,good surgeon who is known as the "knee man" !
First 6 weeks I was regretting having it done,the sleepless nights ,pain,loss of independence and the dreaded PT.Reading posts in this forum encouraged me as everyone was going through the same!Now I feel it has been worthwhile.Will not get a very good bend due to old injuries as only got 90 in theatre.Still the pain has gone.
Well I joined a gym at the weekend,have been today,knee is holding up well but I am so unfit!!!!!Hopefully that will improve.I know why they say "take a sweat towel"!! Or should that be a glow towel,I am a lady after all and ladies "glow"!!Boy did I glow!
Keep up the good work Linda x
