Hi everyone, well it's 6 months after my ltkr and never thought I'd get there But pain free got my life back even considering getting my right knee done. Have I been lucky no I think I had a really good consultant. So anyone out there it does get better. No painkillers for at least 4 months walking perfect yes occasionally a twinge but it's a small price to pay to be pain free. Wl keep you posted if and when I get my right knee done.

    Hi so am 6 months down the line also and pain free in operated leg other than occasional strange feelings of tightness! I still can’t rise a bike though!😔 My other leg needs doing and gives me considerable pain!

    Good to hear you are doing well! I look forward to getting to a pain free stage. Even now that I am cutting back on pain pills, I am not pain free. I start hurting after 6 hours, but usually put off taking next pill till 10-12 hour mark...sometimes really hard to do exercises when it hurts, but dont want to be a whimp, so I do the best I can to work through it. So, looking forward to feeling like it has been worth it, I know I will need the left knee also done, but can't imagine doing it right now. Thanks and best wishes!
