Hello @Yogirich1974 and welcome to the online community,
I understand you live with arthritis in your spine and knees, and you need total knee replacements. I’m sure you’ll find some interesting posts on the forum about members’ experience of having this type of surgery, so do have a look round and join in any conversations where you feel comfortable.
You might find the page on knee surgery useful - here’s the link which has plenty of information about what to expect and how to get ready for surgery..
Additionally, here’s a link to a useful toolkit on preparing for your knee replacement. There are some great exercises to help you build up strength that will help you recover.
Do let us know how you’re getting on,
Anna ( Moderator)
