Fibro and knee replacements
Anyone here have the knee replacement? I am being referred to a specialist to talk to him about having one. Yes I am young, but after 11 years of pain with it and falling last month cause it gave out, causing a PCL tear I am ready to have a decent knee again. The ortho I saw today said something about my fibro being a factor as to not have the replacement! WTH? My knees arent bothered by my fibro! Its my arms, shoulders, ankles, and hips!
So I will see what they say!
I had my knee replaced about 3 years ago and am fighting not to have the other one done. I believe that my fibro does affect my legs the most and I have not really been happy with my knee. Sorry I don't have a better answer. I think everyone is different and if it doesn't affect your legs as much as mine does, it probably will be great.

I am getting a revision of my gastric bypass to the extended one. Both my knee's are shot and I have fibro but I have bone on bone in both knees's so I don't think it is due to fibro maybe alittle but I have true ostearthritis that is shown on my MRI's that keep getting worse. I am plannig for my gastric revision soon and soon as I loose 100 lbs I am going to start with my right knee cause thats the worst. I hope this helps.
