Hi to everyone

Just thought i would give you all a quick update, had a call from Mr O'Briens sec (orthopaedic consultant) today, rang her lat week as my other knee is starting to get bad to, she said that he wants to see me about something else and will speak to me regarding the detereation in what i would call my good knee, he is currently on holiday for 2 weeks and will see me when he comes back, fingers crossed its to give me a date for my stem cell operation, think i'l cry if he doesnt, im so inpatient wish it was 2 weeks time, (nothing like wishing your life away)

    Hi Jo-Ann,

    I am glad they have rung you and so hope he does five you a date. Please let us know about the stem cell and if it helps, If you need us to come with you we are well practiced in the art of pocket dwelling :wink:

    Shall keep my fingers crossed for you. Oh and maybe you could ask him about better pain meds? I wonder if pregabalin will help you at all, its a good drug if it works for you. Cris x

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.
