Hi @Kazmac57 and welcome to the Online Community.

I understand you have had a few falls as a result of having Osteoarthritis in your hip and knee and you are now awaiting to find out if you are going to have an operation, perhaps knee replacement surgery.

Do you currently take any drugs or prescriptions from your doctor/rheumatologist for pain-relief?

The Versus Arthritis web site has a number of sections that may provide some helpful information:

• Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee - includes suggestions on self-management and exercise
• and also has links to this section on Knee Replacement surgery.

Do join in across the Community, ask questions and give support, or just call in for a chat to let us know how you are getting on.

All best wishes

Brynmor
