TKR Tomorrow's the big day!

path20 I know several people who have had knee replacement surgery and it has made a huge positive difference to their mobility and comfort. Of course, it's natural to feel nervous and I know it's not always easy to do but try and focus on the eventual improvement that it will make to your life.

Good luck - I hope all goes well for you.

You will soon be skipping about.....all the best.

Not me but my 83 yr old neighbour had a knee replacement last year. She was in hospital for 10 days and walking unaided within a month and soon after she was pottering in her garden.
Your bound to be nervous. Try telling yourself " it's a routine op, they do it all the time"
I'm sure all will go well and you'll then be pain free.

I don't think anyone could blame you for being nervous, I'm sure most people would be.

I had two knee replacements 2 years ago when I was in constant pain walking the slightest distance or sitting in one position for any time. Best thing ever ! Yes, it was painfull for a while and not much fun doing the exercises but do them you must.

Now I can enjoy country walks and outings without any problems and no feeling of holding others back. I can even (almost ) run up the stairs !

Good luck tomorrow , let us know how you get on.
