G67, Sorry old chap but l have to ask.
I thought maybe your were speaking with a veterinarian physio who may have been speaking in dog years.

If that's not the case, let be the first to say, you look ruddy marvelous for your age!

I too have a compact disc, if fact, l have many .................

...........sorry, I'll get my coat!

Seriously though, hope you can get some immediate relief.

Thanks OKB1 , I have a Asian chap doing the physio and is giving me some relief from the pain . As to your own ‘ compact disc ‘ I feel that they are in such a mess that you may need to employ the services of a known disc compactor such as Polly Meldrum !

Just a bit of advice to all the back sufferers out there, move it. Exercise is key guys. Long gone are the days resting in bed. It's not rocket science but it has been scientifically proved Xx

Same for knees and hip I guess?

Short bursts of high intensity workouts will bring you right up to speed. I'll add pilates to the mix. Great for the core etc Xx

Hip surgery is a walk in the park compared to knee surgery. Totally different outcomes. Hip replacement patients are statically about 80% better off than knee replacement patients.

Yeah realise that. I'm up for both soon. Was questioning the exercise thing. It's hard to exercise when it hurts so much.

Good luck Drakon with your procedures. Exercising can seem daunting and painful but you'll get there. Just ask for the opiates to relieve the pain.

Actually I'm talking pre-procedure.

Hook up with a good physio beforehand, I'm hoping you have a good outcome. I'm sure you will Xx

Only if the knees have the support of the muscles around it.
If you having your knees done because they scrap / floating gristle etc ........... may l suggest that you do not do knee bends.

Straight leg raises by all means but if your knees are shot because of the grating underneath the knee cap, you will only do more damage and cause more pain.

I make these comments from having spent the last 40 years with knee issues, having had a work accident when l was a first year apprentice in 1978.

I spent about 3.5 years in and out of physio.

In the end, the doctors cut bone from my hip, sliced the bone in my leg going to my knee, inserted & stapled the new bone to attach it, thus raising the knee cap off the joining of the two knee bones, thus stopping the grinding.

Nowadays, they have different methods but Bruce Sheppard, head of the AMA at the time, was my orthopedic doctor back then ................. he did a great job after 4 other attempts by other doctors.

Anyway, hope it all goes well for you, Drakon.

You have certainly been through the wars OKB1 and to make matters worse , at a relatively young age . I had an uncle who was a carpet layer all of his working life ( began with Anthony Hordens if that rings a bell ) but also payed the price for the pounding that his knees took . Knees and back , to any young person reading this , are what you must always take take care off or it will come back on you later in life .

Don't think it's bone on bone yet. Just nearly worn out cartilage at the moment. Got an appointment with a specialist on 15 Nov (already been waiting a couple of weeks). Probably start with the hip.
