I have Osteoarthritis in the knees

Once I have my surgery and begin to lose weight will my knees feel better, because right now they are killing me. Please need suggestions for my knee pains. I want the pain to go away

Sorry that you are having this pain, perhaps if you go to your pcp he can give you some shots or meds for them. Patty

I was told some of the pressure will be released.... Sorry you are in so much pain... I hope you feel better Lisa

So sorry you are in such pain. I too have OA of knees. For past 8 months I have done very little. I was on meds for pain, injections in right knee and therapy. Nothing really helped, sorry to say. Now that I am post op, I can already feel the difference. Last check I had lost 21#, which is big, but considering what I have to loose, not. But it has helped so much with knees. So just hang in there it will get better post op. Marla

I too have osteoarthritis of the knees. I had partial knee replacements, and one went very well, the other a disaster, and no one can tell me why I am having so much pain, and immobility. I walk with a cane, take narcotics for pain, and can picture myself in a wheelchair. I was told a total knee replacement would work, well they said a partial would work too. I refuse to have it done, but I am having Gastric Bypass in hopes that it will help me. Losing the excess weight can only benefit my joints to where I am hoping I can have a good quality of life. Best Wishes to you.
