Hello everyone!
I am almost 3 months post op on my left hip and I am doing great!!! Sometimes it feels too good to be true, I had forgotten how great it is to go out shopping or dancing!:D
I was wondering if someone has done hip and knee replacement surgeries on the same leg. My rheumatologist said that I should start considering knee replacement on my left knee some time in the following 2 years, as the joint is really damaged (it was the first joint affected from arthritis when I was 3 years old).
For the last months I didn't think about it that much since I had my hip to worry about but now I am starting doing some research on the topic.
Plus, next week I am going to have fluid removed from my knee and a cortizone injection in the joint. I have this procedure done 1-2 times per year in both my knees but it's the first time after my hip replacement.Should I expect something different?:sct:
Thank you!
