Knee Replacement
Good news. I need a knee replacement. (I've had 2 hips replaced, 3 back surgeries, orthoplasty R foot, ETC... Who has experience with this? how long before I can walk, or say...take a trip to San Francisco for 2 week? I need to prove my back is structurally sound before he'll do it, and I have rehab 3x a week for a month(!!!) no painkillers, before I qualify. Please share your happy experiences. (i'm going to HSS in NYC) Love, Mother (lost my) Sanity.

I'm thinking you've been through worse. I can't help you, but I've heard that some recuperate faster than others. I hope you're one of the ones who are up and about in no time. One thing I'm sure of, you'll be glad you had a knee replacement.

I had bilateral knee replacements last October. It was not easy but worth it in the long run. I also had to do PT before the surgery and then for 12 weeks after. The knees themselves were not as bad as I thought they would be. However some of the medicine they gave me made me very sick and it took weeks to figure out that it was the meds. If I can help you with anything let me know.

dang, good luck.
I had a broken tibia, a horse kicked and shattered it.
Surgery hurt like hell.
It is OK now.
i feel bad for you what a bummer.

Thanks few or the sympathy. There have been quite a few of these things, never enough pain killers. I've learned to detest doctors. To think that I might have married a docctor,,,oh god! Love you, Jackie
