Knee replacement
Hi,
I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthiritis since the age of 18 and its impacted my life massively. I am due to get a double knee replacement within the next 12 months and I am terrified. I am only 30 and most people don't understand the pain I am in but I think the worst thing of all is the constant tiredness. I just wondered if anyone had any advice or information on what to expect ect after the knee replacements.
Thanks x
