Okay, so I have something to say about that. The knee that I got in April of 2012 is about as much as it will ever be. Every time I roll my knee I think, “Oh, shit! Am I really going to be able to walk?” The last time I had to undergo knee surgery was my knee replacement in 2010.
The fact is that the last time I had to undergo knee replacement surgery it was a total failure and I had to walk with a crutches for the next two years. That didn’t stop me, though. I’ve continued to wear my old, painful knee throughout the years, and no matter where I go, I can always feel my knee throbbing. It’s this damn thing.
The knee replacement that I had last time didn’t work well either. So I went ahead and had a new one done. The new one works great, but they just kept making it worse and worse and worse. I finally stopped going to the orthopedist and the knee stopped giving me any trouble. The new one also came with a very expensive brace, which I had to pay a lot of money for just to wear.
The knee replacement is a different surgery. A knee replacement is a piece of surgery that replaces a damaged joint so that the patient can walk. The knee replacement that I had last time didnt work well either. So I went ahead and had a new one done. The new one works great, but they just kept making it worse and worse and worse. I finally stopped going to the orthopedist and the knee stopped giving me any trouble.
After the replacement, my doctor said that the knee was in “good shape” and “not too bad” and that I would be “able to do a lot of things”. The next day I went to my orthopedist… and the knee had almost completely “reached the bottom” from the surgery. They had to put a big brace on it and take out all the cartilage from under the kneecap.
The knee replacement is not an easy surgery, but it is important to know that it is something that the majority of knee replacements can be done successfully without any major problems. Because, as the old saying goes, “You don’t need a plan B when you have a plan A.
Not surprisingly, it has its own sort of blog. It’s a little different than most blogs in that the reader/viewer doesn’t feel like they should be putting all the details in, but they do feel like they should be knowing more about the procedure and the surgery. This is definitely something to remember while you’re on the other side of all that leg pain.
The surgery is covered by most health insurance providers in the US, but we have a list of doctors here from which to choose, and they are all very good. They can help a patient decide if he/she wants to do something like this, or if it is going to hurt and that can be avoided.
It is still unclear how much the procedure will effect your body. This is usually determined by how long the surgery takes and how far your doctor is willing to go to ensure that you will be as healthy as possible. You might not know what you will be like after all, but you will likely be healthier than before the surgery.
The biggest thing to keep in mind when dealing with knee surgery is that it’s a major surgery and not something you do until you feel strong enough to take it. If you don’t feel strong enough to do it now, you will do it later. This is especially true if your doctor wants to do the surgery in stages.
