Knee Surgery This Tuesday

Hi All, I am finally having my other knee replaced this Tuesday. On the one hand, I know exactly what to expect. On the other hand, I know to expect a bit of pain. Well, at least there's no prep for this surgery. I thought that, as I lost weight, my knee pain would improve rapidly. Wrong! It's only gotten worse and now I even have calf and hamstring muscle pain because I'm walking all the time on tiptoe with my bad leg. It's time. I'm looking forward to walking farther than 50 feet and riding my bike. So, if you say prayer, please say a few for me on Tuesday. Donna

Donna, I will definately be thinking of you and say a prayer for you, I am having my gallbladder out tuesday. I know yours is a lot worse than mine, but could I get a prayer too? Hope you'll be doing better very soon! Rachel S.

Donna hi. I hope your knee surgery went ok and you are on the mend. My RA got worse after having wls. I wanted to ask you how difficult is it to have your knee replaced? I am facing the same thing soon and with Gout in my left foot and the right knee in such a bad shape I will have a problem getting around. I have a big boot shoe thingy on my left foot for now and hope and pray the Gout gets better soon but am contemplating holding off on knee replacement surgery until it gets better or well. I also walk on my toes due to pain in my legs as well as my foot. You are in my prayers. Irish
