Theres a drug that ... By: AcuteAnalogy. on 26 Feb 10, 00:31:57 Theres a drug that might stave off TKR or PKR surgery. Its called Aquedan. Its available for humans in Europe or from a vet in the U.S. Animals that were forced to lay in a corner off their feet around the clock due to osteoarthritis soon sprung to life after having Aquedan administered. Those in the southwest U.S. could try getting it from a doc or veterinarian down in Mexico. Might be worth a shot if u have advanced O/A with chronic pain. If u the patient tries it please report back!

I've just started ... By: chiquisbaby81. on 23 Jan 10, 03:32:38 I've just started jogging after two years since my ACL reconstruction. It feels ok and very stable. I guess all that weight lifting on my legs is actually working. Doesn't feel 100% but it's good enough. Once I get the confidence, I'm going to try and sprint or atleast run. I'm going to make sure I have on a pro knee brace before just incase. Wish me luck!

However, you can walk up stairs almost immediately with hanging on to the railing. Canes or crutches are helpful at first. This is an extremely painful, difficult surgery and recovery is ongoing for many months. Good Luck!

Your knees are ... By: lgodleymarroquin. on 02 Dec 09, 00:44:48 Your knees are never the same as what God gave you after a substantial injury & subsequent surgery, If you are able to function relatively pain free, it is worth it. Replacement procedures & products are getting better & lasting longer. I am up for a double replacement myself. And yes, I am putting it off as long as I can. When I can't deal with the pain any longer, I will get replacement. Find a great surgeon, lose weight .prepare yourself mentally & physically. Recovery will be much faster!
Hey, i ment to say ... By: SATYRICON189. on 26 Nov 09, 17:10:00 Hey, i ment to say one thing, and i wrote another. You're right it does hurt and it is painfull, but you don't have a choice, because you can't turn pain off, and without the pain it's impossible, because it's not so easy operation. I'm now 11 weeks after operation, and i'm still doing exercises and electro stimulations. I can step with leg with full weight, but the problem is, that i must to go to the same operation for other leg too :S
it is not a "bit ... By: cruzman2251. on 26 Nov 09, 05:10:05 it is not a "bit painful" it hurts like hell and it is not manageable without hardcore narcotics. maybe you just hav an unusually high pain threshold.must learn to work through the pain especially during PT. PT can last up to 12 weeks or more and the work at home while alone is even more important.
surely you must be ... By: cruzman2251. on 26 Nov 09, 05:05:04 surely you must be kidding. the healing process can go on for a year and the advice of surgeons is definitely not to jog.
i have just undergone a double knee replacement and i simply do not understand how you can even think that far ahead, there is a great deal of trauma to the soft tissue and the nerves that simply takes time to heal.
you should get an attitude adjustment before moving forward with the procedure.
First week after ... By: SATYRICON189. on 22 Oct 09, 21:36:26 First week after operation is a bit painfull, but then every week is beter. You can walk with crutches the second day after operation, well, not that you can, you must hehe :) The scar is as big as it is, someone has smaller, someone bigger, but you can find things in pharmacy that helps you with that.
Sorry again, but health and "no pain" is more important than apperance, if you don't know that yet, mabie your knee is not so bad after all.
Everyone here with knee problems i wish good luck
Sorry "lia19651" ... By: SATYRICON189. on 22 Oct 09, 21:28:35 Sorry "lia19651" but are you serious? How can you ask if the scar looks ugly, if this operation is needed, that means, that you have serious problems with walking. Correct me, but i think that is more important, that you walk and walk without pain and you have scar on your leg, than that you can't walk, you have beautifull legs and you are in bed all the time or walking with crutches in pain.
I had that surgery month ago, and i must to say that is worth of every pain
someone please help ... By: lia19651. on 21 Oct 09, 15:08:17 someone please help! I am due to have knee replacement surgery, I am terrified!!! Can anyone tell me how it feels, how soon can you walk about up stairs etc and how bad is the scar? I love to wear knee length skirts and am worried that the scar will look ugly. How quick does scar fade? Does makeup hide it?
Hhmmmmm.....that's ... By: chiquisbaby81. on 08 Oct 09, 03:15:20 Hhmmmmm.....that's weird. I've had an ACL repair and ever since then it feels not right when I run or jog. Only time I ever run or jog is when i'm kinda drunk 'cause it's pretty much painless. Here's the weird part. Last time I went to the beach, about a month ago, I noticed walking on the sand was working my legs out. Once I tried jogging on concrete my knee felt as if I had never messed it up. I should go to the beach more often....
Before my knee ... By: NicolieOliePolie. on 08 Oct 09, 03:02:49 Before my knee operation I was a great sprinter.I mean I could move fast. But after I had both knees replaced I tried running, it was an odd feeling and required a lot of concentration. It was as if I had heavy weights on my legs. My daughter can catch me with ease. When I was at the beach I concentrated very hard and I was able to run faster on the hard wet sand. I guess you can jog on a tread mill.

I missed out on my whole football season ( I only played one game), why I can't participate in activities such as football, boxing, track and taekwondo. Guys in school pick on me and I can't fight back because of my shoulder and I'm always depressed. Now I have to wait till summer to get the surgery and I'm now finding out it's painful and they have to remove/cut bone. My life sucks.

In my opinion the ... By: cf80to01. on 30 Apr 09, 23:34:52 In my opinion the cortisone is just a stop gap measure to lower the pain until surgery. The shot did help me quite a bit and physio has helped me regain quite a bit of range of motion, but I expect the surgery in 1 -2 months. You are right, Xray won't show the full extent of the injury. I was in much the same boat as you for the first few months after my surgery until I convinced my Dr to send me to a specialist. Best of luck.
Well yea ~ I'm ... By: Jodie15180. on 27 Apr 09, 10:40:33 Well yea ~ I'm thinkin the same about injections ~ waste of time! ~ I was sent for an x/ray, god knows why when its obviously an (mri) i need!

By: nhbright. on 14 Mar 09, 13:48:59 I had a small tear in cuff, needed acromeoplasty and coller bone shaving as well as having removal of earlier surgery remains from poor surgery. You will not have your strength back for at least 6 months so you will need to use your other arm and sailing partners. Listen to your MD- they will tell you restrictions. Mine said I could ski after 4 months. but most recommend up to a year, For most, its much more difficult a surgery than surgeons prepare you for and an extended period of PT.

I am not out to make a quick buck. I don't want anyone to have to feel the fear that I did. I want to teach people ho to prevent and reverse disease effectively and not get ripped of by conventional medicine.
