New Knee?

Re: New Knee?

Had a knee replacement a year back and after therapy found out I was always hitting the hallway wall on the way to the bathroom. Found out later at 6 mph I was pulling to one side, my knee was out of alignment. My left loafer was worn down, most of the tread was gone on the outside edge. Make sure you ask for the knee with the adjusters. Its worth the extra cost.

you will find out the new knee leg will be slightly longer do to the wear and tear on the other knee which will be corrected later when you get the other knee replaced.

I just had my ACL replaced and meniscus repaired, and the doctor still doesn't want me walking on it 3 weeks later So you must be the bionic man Clem

Re: New Knee?

I think if the two knees and the shoulder surgeries go well, he is going to have a facelift, tummy tuck, dental implants, nose job and hair transplant.

He'll still not be much to look at.

God Bless old Chuck. Hope you do well Charles. Could be worse you know. Good luck, JD

4 years ago I was told that I had to look forward to getting nice new right hip. I was very upset and told my pharmacist daughter in NY.
Here is what she told me. Dad I am going to send you an over the counter pill called "Move Free:" Michelle said to me. "Dad we pharmacists don't think much of a lot of the over counter pills but this is one that a lot of us are taking"
So guys/girls I have been taking "Move Free" now for at least 4 years. No hip problems, No knee problems. Have other problems though.
But Move Free at Sam's Club, Walmart etc.
For the 1st week take 4 a day. After that take 2 a day. Takes a couple of weeks to take effect. Now if you take it for awhile and say to yourself it's not helping. Then quit and watch your old body slide down hill.
Move Free has Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and joint fluid. Try it. Less then 25 bucks for 80 tablets. JD

Re: New Knee?

Had my left knee replaced in Aug. Dr. used a Zimmer Next Gen. quad spareing, advanages are quicker recovery, smaller incision. Most inportant thing is the PT after surgery, Its like slow curing concrete, you have maybe 6 weeks before it sits up, so keep that joint moving. I go in Nov. 9th to have rt. knee done, Not much fun but beats being a cripple. It is definitily the last resort.

Best of Luck
