Hi all
Would like to introduce myself, I am in the uk, Cornwall and have a patella femoral replacement booked for 04 June.
A bit of background I had an acl reconstruction 25 years ago on my rt knee followed by 5 differing surgeries over the years , wash outs, lateral menisectomy etc. My sport was competitive netball, folllowed by many a year of mountaineering which added to preious ops has now left me which no cartilage on my patella at the ripe old age of 48. I would like to ask a few questions please. I know the norm is spinal these days but I have had. 8 ga ops and a real thing about spinals ( not being awake but more a phobia About being numb which is why I never had an epi when I had my kids) can any out there tell me what it’s like with a ga as most posts are from folks after spinal ie no feeling waist down when you are up.
Last one .. anyone know if you can surf post pkr???
Any help or advise would be great as getting really worried about it all now.
