in Living with arthritis

Tomorrow I have finally got an appt with the orpho surgeon. I last saw him about 5 years ago and he did not feel a knee replacement was right for me despite being grade 3/4 arthritis as I am also hypermobile and was 44... now I am older, my knee is worse- I cannot even walk short distances without paying for it for days.

I had a lateral release and a TTT surgery on my knee as due to the hypermobility it also subluxates a LOT - it improved it at the time but now I'm back to how I was but worse.

Didn't help I put on a lot of weight over last 15 months as have been unable to exercise due to knee but I've lost over 2 stone since the end of April so I am praying its enough of a loss for them to do something for my knee.

please wish me luck. I am so nervous.

    Good luck & well done on the weight loss. I know it’s not easy to lose the weight when your mobility’s restricted. I hope everything goes ok for you.
