Another recruit for the Cripples club .
I'm Just Into my 3 rd week after a Full knee replacement .
All done on NHS at a private Hospital . Who were fantastic .
From the time I was Diagnosed with Osteoartiritus ,loss of Cartilage completely gone .
Bone on Bone was rubbing and you could hear It creak ," Ouch Caramba O' Mio Dio " .
So was having Excruciating pain just walking every step .
Leg was Deformed and I was crippled walking
But I was able to cycle with the Minimum of pain .
The operation and before and after care and attention to detail was brilliant .
I felt Safe and very confident with the Staff Surgeons doctors and nurses and finally weekly going to Physio .
To anyone who Is wary of having the Op and Is In Unbearable pain , I would recommend having the Operation .
There Is an awful lot to go through ,besides the pain .
And lots of precautions for a successful outcome . Although I'm on Crutches and have to learn to walk In a certain way again , and do lots of leg exercises . And put on Ice Gel Donjoy knee support for 20 mins throughout the day . This all goes to the healing process
. Which Is a 6 week . Recuperation rest Period .
My new Steel and plastic knee can take my weight now for a 10 second stand and I can walk with just raising the crutch's off the ground and walk slowly . I have been told not to overdo It . And stick to thee training programme . Flexibilities Is sloooooooooooooly coming back to the knee but still stiff . So i'm very pleased all In all .
Cheers ZIZAG
