Of course it doesn't. At least you know there is something wrong and it wasn't you being daft. I am not sure how much the physio will help but you have to give it whirl, don't you? The very best of luck, bertyboy, I am pleased that you have gotten to the bottom of it all. Overall, it's a good thing even if it has taken them one helluva long time to realise what was up!

Oh that does get you down, doesn't it? Just 'cos someone else's worked like a dream doesn't mean that yours has. It's like my favourite reply to the information that I have arthritis - 'Oh I had that but it went.' For crying out loud . . . . .DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this.

Hi Bertygirl
That has taken soooo long for you to be told what you knew all along, that something was not right. Did the surgeon say how this had come about? It is alright him saying he will operate. I can well understand that you are reluctant to go through all that again. I do hope that physio helps rectify the problem for you and I also hope you do not have to wait too long for an appointment, after all it was nothing you did that has caused this problem.

hope the physio helps for the time being, I don't think you are a wimp, try other alternatives first i say, then it gives you time to think about an operation.
good luck

Hi Berty,
I am glad you have finally found out what is wrong with your TKR and it has been acknowledged that this was not something you were imagining.
So sorry though that you will need another op ... not surprised you are not keen to go through all the post op palaver again.
Can physio actually "fix" the problem non-surgically?

Hi Berty, at least you now know what is causing it, think we have all at some point questioned ourselves even just for a split second... Really hope the physio does you some good, and it makes senseto give it a try first, no operation is a small thing really matey..
