I am so depressed. I don't see what everyone is missing. I keep falling. My leg keep locking up when I walk. Oh well.

I'm so sorry you're still struggling, @Angel1978 . I'm praying answers will be soon. When do you go back to the OS and are you still doing PT?

Wow! You're having the left knee done soon! Hope you're right knee can handle the added stress. I'm back to school now, so my knees are getting quite a work out. Are you able to bike at all?

Which surgeon is doing your second knee?

Don't think it matters what you are biking on, the motion of cycling is so good for loosening your knee it will help. Hopefully the next one will have an unremarkable recovery.

Wait - @Angel1978 - who is Dr. S? You said that he saw the alignment issue - I thought he was the new doctor. Which one is the doctor that Jamie found for you?

Dr S. But he pulling the age card on me. And said the 2nd set of X-rays show no alignment problems. Was at beginning but he did the special peace together X-ray. Trust me I'm mad. But ins is not wanting to pay. There is no definite issue. Scar tissue is what he put. And dr s works with a doc I dispise

Hi Mary, like you, I was 36 when I had my first TKA for my right knee. I waited almost two years to get the doctors to approve, even though I had bone on bone. They tried shots and physical therapy but there is nothing you can do for bone on bone.

My biggest worry is what will happen when I have to replace the knee for the 2nd time. Even if the knee lasts 20 years, I will be only 56 years old when it is replaced. It was one of the reasons I held off replacing my left knee as I did not want to replace the TKA on both knees at the same time. The good news as more and more people have this surgery it will only improve.

Like the others stated, ICE is your friend. I even keep ziploc in my purse so I can ice my knee where ever I can find ice. This is very useful if you are at Disney or on the golf course, you can get ice anywhere.
