Life after a joint replacement: Share your experiences and advice!
Unregistered member
I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!

I also have been diagnosed with osteo arthritis of both knees. I have tried taking analgesics, but it is not an answer for long term use. My GP px me fastum gel and it is effective in dulling the pain. I find prn use of co dydramol very useful when the pain is worse.
