I'm new to this forum and hope I will find support and answers.
I have just been advised that I need a new knee. No cartilage on right knee. I am very nervous but that is probably normal. Right now the pain when walking is in both knees. X ray shows arthritis in left but not requiring replacement. My question is, if the pain in left knee is a result of overcompensating will the pain subside once the right knee is replaced. Actually the pain is both knees, ankles and hips...could all this be the result of one knee....??? What can I expect????
