Waiting For Partial Knee Replacement

Hi to everyone.

I was told a couple of days ago that I will be getting a partial knee replacement in my right knee. Although the arthritis appears to be at the same stage in both knees, it is the right that is causing me the most grief. The consultant explained the differences to total knee replacement with regard to recovery, pain relief etc, but I would love to hear from people who have gone through this procedure and recovery so that I can be better prepared for what lies ahead. I am 59 and I work in a warehouse driving different forklifts and generally being on my feet all day. I enjoy my job but I am off at the moment because the pain is too much. The physiotherapist from my gp practice has given me exercises which I do every day and he says they will also benefit me after surgery. I would love to hear from anyone with advice, tips, or their personal stories that might help me. In the meantime I'll read through a few more posts on this lovely site.

Thank you very much in advance.
