hi all dose anyone else feel like this i had my bi lateral at the end of 2012 and had complications and since ive had revision and a few other ops in between i used to enjoy life and loved my saturday night out (its a real irish thing )we would go out and meet friends in our local pub or club it was great way to unwind ,but since my first op all that stopped and even though im much better now ive lost the urge to go anywhere. i would rather stay at home , im so boring now and i can see by my husband that ive changed when i go to the shopping centre if i see someone i know il walk the other way if they have not seen me i just dont want to meet people i think maybe its because its the same old same old hows the knees conversation !!! that neither i nor them want to talk about its like the elephant in the room . has anyone else felt like this and how do i get my mojo back ? maybe its just me and i have forgotten how to enjoy myself ?

one thing I did was to join the local cancer council and palliative care, and I donated my time to help patients through chemo and also in the last stages of life, it made me feel like I was contributing and I also got out of the house, when you see someone so much worse off you are thankful for every day you wake up. Then I joined a local art group. Hope thT helps, but you have to make the first move,
I still get the odd person asking me how my health is. But it's better than being ignored.hope you can find your way out of this. Perhaps you have a little depression ? I have Always stated that this surgery leaves you with a form of PTSD ..

However, I had gallstones and had to have my gallbladder out at the end of April. Now that is a completely different ball game. Still having to be careful what to eat and not feeling like doing much.
Maybe also it is because I am now 3 years older than i was when I had TKR. I am 64 now. So probably slowing down a bit.
Take care and keep in touch

one in her house and the only person she sees is her daughter and grand son. That's not a life.
you did the knee to be out of pain and able to do whatever it is you lost through pain and disability.dont allow this to make you back to square one..go and see your GP if you haven't been out in ages you are probably lacking vitamin B D and so on...please get a blood check done and if you have slight depression get it treated before it's bad...you deserve it...
