RE: Knee Replacement gone wrong.

in #health8 years ago

So sorry -- especially for someone used to being so active and agile! The only consolation I can offer is that my partner has worn a knee brace every day for nearly 15 years. He's super active -- he works in the woods, bikes miles every day, etc. Those braces do work, if you make sure you get a good fit - and develop a good relationship with the brace-fitting person. His braces have lasted him about 4-5 years each before wearing out. He hasn't had a knee replacement yet - the brace is doing it's job, even though he is bone-on-bone. Best of luck to you!

Sort:  

Yes it is very hard. I bought myself a new bike after the replacement and it is painful to ride without a brace on it. I find I can still sit on the floor cross legged but there is no more kneeling in the gardens, People laugh cause I sit on my butt and shimmy my way through the lawn and gardens weeding. Its all good.. Maybe it will help to flatten my arse a bit.. hahaha To every dark cloud there is a silver lining right?

I hope there's more silver in your clouds as time goes on! Shimmy and scoot with pride!

I am sure there is and will be. Always looking forward to the future.
