Hello

Welcome to the forum. I am sure you will find dupport, help, advice and friendship here. There are lots of others on this forum that have had problems with their knees and I expect that they will be able to assure you about your forth coming procedure.

Arthritis Care produce a booklet - Surgery and arthritis - which you may be interested to look at. It is at:

Good luck with your operation. Please keep us up to date with your arthritis.

Hello GrandmaS and welcome.

I think this is the removal of crystals, possibly due to gout or pseudo gout. Am I right? If so, it's not a common topic on here but UI've found you a former thread http://tinyurl.com/kg54rxn . Maybe, if you re-post on the Living With Arthritis forum, someone with experience of it will see and reply. Good luck with the op

Hello GrandmaS

I don't know if this might help, but I popped Chondrocalcinosis into the search engine on Arthritis Research Uk and got this:

Might be worth a look?

Bets of luck
