Both my folks have had their knees done.

My ma hasn't had any problems, but my da's was done 2 days before the very first lockdown, so wasn't given the follow ups and physio rehab and has had problems with his ever since.

All that time spent on your knees finally coming back to haunt you?

Haha yep! The medical term is 'slut drop knee' aw poor dad I'm not looking forward to the physio. I'm in my 40s ( just) so a bit young for a knackered joint. I'm just special I guess ...

This is why I'm so pissed off about my foot injury... like you expect to deteriorate as you age, that's all part of life, but a completely messed up joint that restricts activity as 36?? It ****ing sux innit. I mean obviously I know people end up with far worse injuries / paralysed etc. and it's nowhere near that bad... but I didn't think I'd be going out for lunch with friends in my 30's and have to be asking them to "slow down a bit" because I can't hobble along fast enough. Meh.

Aw, it's **** isn't it :/ shovelling naproxen in like smarties and hoping it doesn't burn through your stomach lining haha!
Keep bugging the docs if it's impacting on your life to such an extent. I wish I'd made more fuss before it got this bad, been hobbling about like a granny for over 2yrs.

It's a process that you do have complete control over, you just have to force yourself through a lot of the pain and fully commit to rehab if you're going to do it.

Not many medical treatments that are in your own hands, so it's a reason to be positive and optimistic. Let us know how your appointment goes.

That's terrible, we're going to see a lot of negative medical stories like that come out because of lockdown though unfortunately

Best of luck with the surgery Kizzy
