My orthopaedic surgeons says I do not need a knee replacement and this surgery will do the trick. (I did have arthroscopic surgery in 1989 on both knees, which relieved the pain I was having. But I assume things have changed a lot since then!)
Questions:
Why did you have the surgery?
Did you have a general anaesthic?
Did you need crutches?
Were you advised to take blood thinners after the surgery to avoid blood clots?
How long and how often did you go to Rehab (if at all)?
When did you resume driving?
When could you walk comfortably?
When did you feel yourself completely healed?
Are you happy with the results?
Thanks so much.

I am also in a lot of pain with my right knee, Wakes me up at night and is very painful during the day. I had the scope done 2 years ago and it helped for awhile but now I am tinking of going to a diff. Dr. as the one I am seeing has stated that I do not need a new knee.... I do not want one either but I do want to be pain free... Good luck and let me know what you have done..
