I have recently had my other knee replaced, about 3 months ago. The exercises are paramount to a successful outcome. The day after the op whilst still on morphine I got the knee bent as far as I could, and I did a few exercises as well. This seemed to help as the exercises became easier quite quickly. The knee is really good now totally pain free, though to be honest both knees feel strange but I have only had them for a relatively short while, as opposed to the 63 years I had the originals.
.....It was very successful and I recommend it to anyone who has the same condition
Sorry Bigbazza but I would council against recommending it to others just because yours was so suvcessful. I am very, very pleased that your operation and recovery was so quick, however, many take far longer to achieve the benefits you did if they do at all.
Anyone contemplating having theirs done needs an understanding of the risks and benefits prior to making their own decision.
Hi pete, had my right one done just over 2 years ago and yes there is some pain after but I found not as much as before and you must as everyone says do the exercises and properly or it is a waste of time. I,m very happy with mine,alas the other one is about ready to be done but I will have it when becomes necessary, good luck with yours,
Margaret

Both my brothers had very bad knee problems about ten years ago.
One had a new knee, and you wouldn't know it isn't the one he was born with if he didn't tell you.
The other was scared off by tales of artificial knees wearing out and being difficult to replace, lots of pain, reduced mobility for ever after, etc., etc...
Well, he has reduced mobility now all right!!!
He favoured his bad knee so much that he has a permanently twisted spine, arthritis in various places brought on by the un-natural gait, a bulky great leather and steel knee brace, a stair lift, a mobility scooter, a mobility car, and he can walk about 200 yards on the flat and level, hobbling on his walking stick . . . so long as he doesn't have to walk back!
I know what my choice will be if/when bits of me wear out.
Fortunately my knees are still OK, but a guy I work with had a new knee in July and was back at work on the shop floor after 10 weeks. He is now riding his Harley Davidson again with no problems, apart from his other knee, which he is having done next year.
My M-I-L had hers done in August and is back swimming twice a week and taking the dog for long walks.
They were both done privately at the Spire Hospital at Norwich, by different surgeons.
Thank you all for your support and help.
I am having the op. under a professor Sockart at North Manchester Hospital.
I have suffered for 20 years with pain in my knees of varing degrees and had the clean up job on both so am awair of the importance of phisio and as I am only 61 and in good health I am confident of a good result.
