I’ve had both knees replaced,and my left shoulder too, besides other things. I had my knees done in 2013 I had my left knee replaced, and my right knee I had replaced in 2014. I’ve never been able to kneel down since having them replaced, and these last 6 or 7 months have been terrible, the pain around my knees are really bad when I try to walk , I’d like to know if anyone els has the same problem as me. ( I hope their isnt )

    Hi @Whiteheart I hear your pain, sorry to hear it didn't work well for you. Luckily I don't have knee trouble (yet) but my next door neighbour has just had one of his knees replaced recently and seems to be recovering, though still walking slowly and limping. He is glad he had it done though. Hope things improve for you.

    Hi Whiteheart, I'm very new to the forum and have just had my right knee partially replaced (a week ago) so it's very early days for me. You said you had your knees replaced in 2013/14. Did you get over the surgery OK and have good outcomes initially? Do you know why you're havibg so much trouble in more recent times? I hope you can find some relief soon. Is it worth asking to be referred back to your original orthopaedic specialist to as for a re-evaluation?
