people I have spoken to regarding new knees give it 60% - 40% against, my specielist said keep my own as long as you can, as regards football that's for big girls , I used to play rugby league but at 64 years young I think that's a little past it don't you ? anyway im off to pubs for some pain killer, and to drown my sorrose my best hen has gone missing ?

One of the lucky ones I suspect Shippy "Super woman" last night at the club here I was sitting down with a knee tragic having a chat about his situation etc "Pain, pain pain" & he still has his other knee to be done also. So I suspect one needs to be rather careful, who they allow to put the knife to work as such on them .

Sounds like you need some anti-inflammatory tablets edgie and possibly a hot and cold poultice.

as long as you can still see to your birds edgie, that's the main thing....are you sending to the mnfc in two weeks time...?

I feel your pain buddy, I'm in the same boat, the only time I get some relief is when the quack gives me a course of steroids, but only once a year, down side is they can cause brittle bones

Sorry to read this bad news about your knee Edgie fingers crossed it wont keep you down for long mate

I don't know why you have been told that there is only a 40% - 60% chance of getting new knees that are good ones.

Years ago my mother had both knees replaced at Leeds general, she was only off her feet for 2 days, then physio and walking around. After a week or so, she was back home and doing great.

Maybe you should see someone else and get a second opinion.
