Re: Knee replacement
I know only one lady who had a knee replacement. She had been getting gold steroid injections and decided that replacement was the way to go. She is in her 70's, and found that after the initial healing process, regular small activity helped enormously with flexibility, because there is a small chance the joint becomes stiff and you can't bend it. Overall she has a better quality of life than she did before, so that's a yes to success.Re: Knee replacement
Re: Knee replacement
Yes if you do as you are told. The Exercises are the key to the whole recovery. I had my first one done back in 2007 followed by the other knee three years later. If your lazy about the exercise then healing is much much longer and may not work properly. But do the exercises several times a day and you'll be fine. If you can get your hands on a Cubii then that's all the better as you can use it sat in front of the TV at night.Re: Knee replacement

Mr Mags had a total knee replacement four years ago after years of putting up with intense pain from an operation in his 20's for a TB knee. He is a different person today, said it had changed his life for the better ...... the only thing he can't do is kneel down on that knee.Re: Knee replacement
Hi Emjay my sister (77)had a knee replacement a few months ago. She was in hospital a couple of days, had some phiso and is pain free in that knee for the first time in years and waiting to have the other knee done when possible.
