I am planning to have this surgery later this year too. The recovery sounds pretty awful and LONG. So any reccomendations welcome. My surgeon told me the best way to get up and down stairs is on my bottom. Have flight of of 5-6 steps I would need to navigate.I tried this and couldnt even get up into a standing position on my so called good foot which is painful too and that knee has arthritis! So I'm wary.

Sorry about my other reply got cut short ...ended with toilet! Anyway I'm week 15 post op and can honestly say now I'm so glad I had it done if you would have asked me las week ...... different story..... recovery is slow so prepare yourself to have a lot of time on your hands my I pad was my saviour I learned so much! Swelling is my only problem now , which causes some pain but nothing compared to the pain pre op , follow up physio now for me and hopefully back to work in two weeks , I wish I has asked questions before I felt so alone but there is loads of us out there good luck with your op . Be patient take it easy , take care and good luck xx
