My husband has had a knee replacement, followed by a severe staph infection in that knee, which required months of antibiotics; which did not completely cure the staph; followed by a surgery to clean out the infection; followed by an evaluation that indicated the infection was still active; followed by a removal of the knee replacement and an insertion of an antibiotic spacer for an 8-month period with no knee and a 24-hour antibiotic drip to attempt to eradicate the existing infection; followed by a reinsertion of a new knee replacement and an attempt to remove all the scar tissue from the previous surgeries. Result: a complete chaos. He cannot bend that knee; cannot climb stairs anymore; cannot exercise without pain; cannot walk without a cane or walker; I can go on but you get the picture.

For me my foot surgery was far far worse than my knees! I was very incapacitated for a couple of months with the foot. Get the circulating ice bag for your knee. Start PT with in 24-48 hours post op. Work the knee as much as allowed you’ll improve so much quicker. I got out and went to Pt. I had a scooter and crutches. The harder you work the better off you’ll be. Same with hip. You have to finish all of your PT. That is a critical piece to recover. Don’t be lazy. Take your pain medicine as scheduled. It will help you move so much easier. I used a walker too initially. Absolutely NO WEIGHT BARING! 👍🏼

Best to try the Synvise or Gelsyn injections first. I've avoided surgery for over 15 years because of the injections. They are fabulous.

Since we're all sharing our x-rays I figured I'd share mine. I must say that PT was rough! I only did 8 weeks of it at home, and I never did any outpatient PT, so I do still have a lot of pain in the new knee. I've decided against doing the other knee, too painful!

No more operations for me. I never recover very well to anesthesia, let alone painful operations. I'm 78 and done. 🙏

so that piece ends up being his kneecap? The part that goes into his leg bone doesn't look long enough. I've also heard knee surgery is brutal, but every person I know who's had a knee replacement, said the end result was so worth it all! I hope so, because I'm scheduling mine this week. I'm 68 years old. 🙏💕

I had mine done. It was so bad my doctor wasn’t sure he could straighten my leg. I had a broken hip as well. I had been walking with both for most of a year. . My leg turned in and my left knee hit my right one. He replaced right hip first. as it had a small fracture. Next was my left knee. Then my left hip. My right knee will need to be done eventually. I had a great doctor and I sailed through all of them. I walked right after coming out of surgery from my knee surgery. The knee pain was worse than the hips but managed well with meds. At my first check up I walked in my docs office on my walker and he was amazed. I had all my physical therapy at home. I am so grateful to this doctor. When he first saw me, he said my hips and knee were so bad he was going to have to use Leggo parts to to put me back together. Lol! 💕🌸

I had my right knee replaced 14 yrs ago and it was the best thing I did. I had back problems and sciatica in my left hip. I was always going to the chiropractor getting a shot in my hip. I couldn’t get around very well when you have a bum knee. After my surgery, yes it was hard getting back all the things I had to do at home and going to the Physical physical therapy, but in no time I was out walking I lost the weight. There was no more pain in my hip and my back straightened out no more chiropractor ever since. My doctor did a fantastic job and I felt like a new person. You’d never know. I had a knee replacement. It looks great and it feels great. 👍🏻

I've had both knee joints replaced, one twice after 20 years of wear on the first one. I was walking the same day with my most recent one and chipping golf balls 4 days post surgery. On the other side I had a full shoulder rotator cuff rebuild. I'd rather have two more knee joint replacements before another shoulder rebuild. I had to sleep in a recliner for three weeks after the shoulder surgery. It was so miserable that I never left the house until physical therapy started. I couldn't play golf for almost a year.

I have cartridge removed in 1969 I guess that was how they fix knee back then. Then in 2000 I had total knee replacement. It is a tough surgery, I know by now they must how improved it. But the key is to keep moving it. I rolled a can of corn on the floor with my foot. That was 26 years ago and my knee is fine still. Had my ankle and shoulder totally replaced too.

My sister had total knee replacement years ago. When she passed recently & was cremated, they gave us her knee back along with her ashes. It didn't look anything like that and was bigger & heavy!!
