Back to square one!

All the best Jane10. Make sure you have the minimum opioids as they are the ones that make you so sick!
Hope all goes well.

Hope all goes well this time.

Good luck!

Hope all goes well, you will feel so much better when you're mobile again.

Best wishes for the future!

Sending my best wishes Jane for a speedy recovery

All the best hope you are out and about soon.

My other half had both his knees done at the same time. The operation was a great success so I hope you have as great a result as he had.

Don’t let them give you Tramadol! It’s a horrible drug and messes with your head and very addictive. I always refuse it.

Good luck Jane hoping all goes to plan, in fact better than plan x

Agree Anno, was given Tramadol after codeine made me v. sick - it was adequate for pain relief but had horrible withdrawal symptoms even though at that stage I was taking only 1 tab per day.

Just leaving hospital after a hip replacement. Luckily all went well but a little trepidation as going to an empty house! Have good friends but no near neighbours. All best wishes to you.9

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Just come across this thread - hope all goes well Jane. I've not yet had to have any joint replacements, but I know it's only a matter of time, as I was warned I would need one at some point when I had a knee arthroscopy 10 years ago

prettypolly good luck. I hope some friends and neighbours can rally round.
Am sitting gowned up and in lovely paper pants waiting to be led to the theatre...

Good luck wishing you a speedy recovery ?

Will soon be over. Xxx

Jane, thinking of you and wishing you well. ?

Wishing you good luck and a speedy recovery Jane.

My other half has had both his knees done in the last 2yrs and he was more anxious the second time, I guess it must be harder as you are more aware of all that goes on. Funny thing is he was also very sick afterwards too and he had both lots of surgery done with an epidural so it was nothing to do with the anaesthetic, so I am guessing his was due to all the pain meds too.

Tramadol and codeine are both opioids. Horrible side effects even if good at pain releif. Keep Off!!!

Good luck Jane things can only get better. My sister who is 86 and lives on her own has just had a knee op. She is getting good support at home and has lots of physio to cope with. Bed has been moved to the lounge as she's not coping with stairs yet. So glad she will be out of pain and mobile again soon. Job well done.

Good Luck, Hope it all goes well. I understand the trepidation though, I can't take any pain medication except paracetamol, so operations are a bit of a problem, but as another poster said better behind you than still to come.

Hope the op has gone or is going well, jane10. I can well believe recovery taking a year. All the best for a quicker recovery this time and the sickness dealt with.

I had my first knee done 21 months ago and while I wouldn't say I am free of pain, it would seem that my hip and lower back are affecting that.
The op itself was no problem and even at nearly 80 I was out and walking reasonably well after 3 nights.
I was able to take myself to the loo day and night after the first night.
Because of this I would be worried about a second one as no two seem to go the same.
Fortunately I am able to take any pain relief without any trouble ( and I did).

All the best for a speedy recovery

Good luck with your op. and wishing you a speedy recovery. Thought I would you a laugh. A friend of mine (male) went into hospital for an op. where he was given paper pants to wear. To cut a long story short, he thought they were to put on his head, and that’s where he put them! He couldn’t understand why the nurses kept laughing at him, as no one told him otherwise and that’s how he went down to theatre???. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in theatre...it could only happen to a man.........

I've just seen this Jane10. Sending positive vibes and best of luck that your operation goes well, with good pain relief that doesn't make you sick or addict you x
