Hi, it's me again I'm 6 weeks post op and still having to use my crutches as my knee just gives way when I try to put full pressure on it. Physio says I'm doing well but I feel upset as I know someone who is older than me and walking unaided. I am also still not getting more than a couple of hours sleep a night before I have to sit on the side of the bed in pain my hip is so painful at night. Feeling very low right now

I can understand you being worried if the knee feels like it's giving way, but if your physio thinks that you are doing well, then that's a good sign.
We just have to keep at it and hope that eventually we'll be walking somewhat normally, and pain free, again soon.
Take care.

thank you, I know I need to be more positive but every day seems so long and every night even longer just can't wait to sleep through one night without waking in pain, and to come off these crutches that I have been on for so many years.

Thank you you I will try and stay positive, my knee just can't take the pressure when I'm trying to bring the other leg forward. My physio said its that I have no muscles working to support my knee. I go physio this week I will ask her about the brace. Wishing you a speedy recovery

My diary shows a quote by someone famous every week and for the week of my next operation it says 'There is no me. I do not exist. There used to be a me, but I had it surgically removed.' That's exactly how I'm beginning to feel! Very astute of Peter Sellers!
