    Hi Joan. Good luck with your second TKR.

    How bad is your osteoarthritis? I'm just wondering your take on whether the pain of the aftermath of a TKR is worth it. Evidently you think so as your proceeding with the second.

      Well worth the pain I am due to have an injectionfor osteoporosis as my GO says the results of my density bone scan shows I could break a bone turning iver in bed I have suspended that treatment till I'm over my next TKR as the side effects of this injection are not good feel I have enough to cope with TKR for the moment so will have that done next year 😁

    Wow, I give you credit. I knew I had to have both done when I started. Well I’m 15 weeks P.O. from rtkr and I don’t think I will ever get the left one done. It will take a miracle for me to change my mind. I am just waiting for this nightmare to end. I want to wake up and not feel that tight rubber band feeling. I want to sleep without a pill and go through ONE whole day without pain. Forgive me ranting, today has not been a good one😞

      15 weeks is STILL early I reckon it was only at the 6 month mark I could say well I'm over the worst mind you I did have my leg injury in the other leg to take my mind off it I actually kicked a ball to my grandson the other day and used my TKR LEG and forgot lol I did say I must be mad to have another TKR but the rewards speak for themselves Hope you turn the corner soooooon x
