Full knee replacement

JayneyN

Hi. I've been waiting and waiting and finally I have a pre op assessment on Monday. Hopefully I'll find out when my surgery is. It's a bit scary and feeling anxious. Does anyone have any tips or wise words of help and encouragement?

Many thanks, Jayne

Good morning @JayneyN

How exciting and terrifying! Finally you are on the way to getting something sorted.

I have seen this leaflet posted to members in your position

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/your-experiences/your-questions-answered/your-questions-on-surgery-and-arthritis/

Years ago we had a 'summer of knees' and a hue thread was started by someone called @Helenbothknees and joined by others

Might be worth a read.

All being well you will be given some information at your pre-op too on Monday - best of luck!
