Hi, I'm new to the forum. Early 60s, I had a left knee Oxford Partial in November 2012 and the right knee partial 3 months ago in late March. Brilliant and caring surgeon and all was well until I got home. I was under pressure to start back working, from home, 2 weeks after op at my computer and had to get back to doing most of the cooking, housework etc (as my other half is Ill with an undiagnosed neurological problem) so I've not been doing physio as much as I should. I went back to computing, travelling by tube into London after 4 weeks and walking the dog for about an hour or so every day.
But I am getting very frustrated at only being able to go up and down stairs crab fashion, being unable to squat, bend or walk on uneven ground and still need a stick in Town as I'm afraid of losing my balance. I'd love to get back to gardening but had to give up in frustration today! Is this normal? I've also just lost my job, partly due to some mistakes I made when I first started working again, while fuzzy-headed on Tramadol! Any advice, feedback would be very welcome. Thanks.
