Knee pain

I have just had word that I'm having my right knee replaced at beginning of June after a 3 year wait . My left knee is very bad as well and I'm worried that it won't support me with all the exercises I have to do .

Please dont believe them when they tell you you are too young for a knee replacement i had mine at age 56 , 2 years after first going with pain , it has also been realigned , at one hospital they have done mri that shows its still out of line that was in 2014 , was due to have the whole thing replaced but due to several issues it never got done .Have now moved to a different area different hospital and drs , the knee consultant did xrays showing its not out of line , my pain tells a different thing ,sent me for a spine scan and referred me to the spine specialist ,as far as the knee consultant  was concerned the pain is coming from my spine two bulging discs . He will not ask for the mri results from the other hospital and has since discharged me from his clinic , i am at a complete loss at the moment as where i stand or not as the case may be , i take paracetamol, naproxin ,tramadol  and amytriptyline and use ibru gel , even a letter from my DR  has not got him to ask for the mri results , WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE  very frustrated on the fact i am not being believed . Sorry for the long post . 

 Up date for me is i ask my new local DR to be referred back to my original consultant , yes it means traveling further , but hopefully i can get some answers . See previous post

Well folks it is now 6 weeks since I had my total knee replacement.  I can bend the knee very well but still get a lot of pain.  I have cut down on the painkillers but find if I walk a lot the pain comes back.  I have only had appointment to see the physiotherapist once since I came out of the hospital and that is because I rang up to enquire when I was getting an appointment.  I have been doing the physio myself at home.  I know it is early days and am hopeful that I can get rid of the crutches in a few weeks.  

Its early days yet Ruby , dont try and do too much at once , ice and elevation , rest is important too  x

hi I am 54 and I have osteoarthritis in both of my knees my left is the worst though.  I can hardly walk most  the time, I take Tramadol and Narproxin, I recently had a cortisone injection in  my knee at my doctors surgery which has done nothing to help but one I was given by the specialist in January did help after a few weeks it took the edge off the pain for a few weeks but it came back with a vengeance. My work place aren't very helpful I am waiting for a leg rest to make me more comfortable at my desk at the moment I am having to support my leg on a chair next to me... This is v painful and hurts my hip.  I have tripped up mats in the entrance at work because I can't seem to lift my foot very high.   I have difficulty sleeping; I sleep on my side which makes the pain worse (I can't sleep on my back) I can't take Tramadol whilst at work it makes me sleepy I have fallen asleep at my desk
