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.
Yes Total knee replacementWas it a knee replacement? I'm in Gymea Bay
Yes Total knee replacement
Its was because I had acute rheumatoid arthritis.
In run in my famly my dad had it and my sister and the daughter has it.
Its a shit
Sorry to hear Samy but hope the new knee works well for you! How's the other knee?Yes Total knee replacement

We have a lot in common, DA61.
I have needles fortnightly for that too!
I'm riddled with it, ha!
Mostly Phiactic & Osteo and to a lessor degree, Rheumatoid.
Stay positive mate!

I never anticipated I'd go downhill so fast knee and hip wise in retirement!
Sorry to hear about your travails too OKB. Seems like many of us old Dragons are afflicted.
1957 vintage here.
Good luck today at rehab. Good to know that you get some relief from the Endodan.Drakon
Sorry to here your in pain. Hope it gets better mate.
I'm a bit younger than you mate I'm a 69 vintage.
Will do all the exercises ect and hopefully the pain will reduce soon.
Thank god for endo it a pain killer .
Of to rehab about lunch time.
So see how im going
Sorry to hear you have RA Samy. Definitely a shitty disease mate. The immunosuppressive meds are making a huge difference, but being on the right one is proving differcult as you will obviously know. I've been to a couple of Prof Lyn March's seminars in Sydney. She has her own private practice, but works a lot with Royal North Shore Hospital in providing innovative care for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Worth a look Samy. XxYes Total knee replacement

A work colleague of mine had both knees done at the same time. Must have been tough for him!
Hope your other knee is OK.
I get it OKB but you need to keep moving those joints. Swimming is great for non-resistant training whilst you need to add some resistance training too. I would honestly suggest pilates. Not the most masculine of workouts but you do get to hang out with good looking chicks most of the timeWe have a lot in common, DA61.

No mate, all the best for you Samy. Knee replacements can be tricky to say the least. You've given yourself a realistic time frame for a decent recovery. 8-12 months is a reasonable time line. Hip replacement surgery may only take approximately 3 months at most. PS. Enjoy the Endone Luv XxThanks drag.
All the best
Agreed DQ,
Swimming is the most non intrusive exercise of all!
You're right OKB. I'm one of those weird ones that swims up in Newy beaches in the middle of winter. TBH it's only freezing for about a minute and then you adjust.Agreed DQ,
