Hi guys, well things were going well till a week ago..I got this sudden surge of pain into my knee as I was sat resting it, it was excruciating,so I had to get an ambulance out who took me to A& E.After a few blood test and x rays it turns out I had a bleed into my new knee.The pain was the worse I have ever experienced.They kept me in 4 nights and got my knee bending as much as possible to disperse the blood.Back home now and trying to get on with my recovery(again).

Ouch. Rather you than me Phil.
Next time ask for setting on of 100 leeches followed by immediate treatment for anaemia.
Stick with it because it gives me hope for when age overtakes me too.
e&oe...

Sorry for your painful experience,Phil.I have a friend who got both knees done,though with a 6 week gap.First op was Nhs,and she still has not got full success with it.Second op on the other knee she went private,and had a great result !
It is a very intricate procedure,and requires a long recovery rate Good luck

I know I had problems after my knee replacement, but they were nothing to do with the knee. Yours sound bloody painful. Glad you are on the mend now, just keep up the physio.

OOoerr..sounds nasty Phil. I hope that you will recover quickly and your new knee feels as good as mine does. I was talking to a pal last night who needs a new knee, his has been a problem for ages and caused him to pack his job as a postman up. He's only in his late fifties and they told him he was too young to have a knee replacement op. This don't seem right to me 'cos it's affected his whole social life too, he only comes out if someone can give him a lift and this is a bit difficult with drinking and driving. He was pleased to see me strutting around as normal 'cos another fella he knows told him that his new knee was a waste of time and he regretted having it done. Anyway, I've advised this pal to get a second opinion, it don't seem fair to me that he has to live that way for maybe another ten years or so!

Hi guys, coming along ok now.Down to just using 1 crutch and sleeping virtually pain free now, something I last did many years ago.Hoping soon to be carrying on a normal pain free life.I agree Dave,if you are in arthritic joint paint it destroys your life, it stops you doing stuff, the pain makes you short tempered and sleep can be a nightmare.Go to the Doctors INSIST you want to be referred (because most GPs try and keep you away from hospitals if they can)and get the joint replaced.It will improve your life no end.

Glad all's well Phil, a colleague of the Mrs had a new knee she's pain free and a nicer person.

Good to hear Phil, and sticking to one crutch is probably a sound chouce anyway...

Well folks, just got back from a week in Kos. Eldest son got married in the Greek islands. Great week, just too hot, temps in the high 30s, but there was plenty too drink (the benefits of all inclusive).

We haven't been since we were between dogs about 8 years ago. That was Corfu. We've arranged to go to Skopelos in September (wasp season). I reckon we are going to have a bit of a prices shock coming...

Glad you enjoyed it Dinky, We went to Kos by hydrofoil when we were in Bodrum many years ago, there were cats all over the place. Glad to read its in the 30s we are off to Corfu in 8 weeks and the temperature should be high. A pool and a bar is all you need to keep cool.

I told my grandson to say hello to Mick for me, I first saw them at the Il Rondo Leicester in 1963 {I think). Still the best R&B band in the world. Men of wealth and taste!

The distorted sound was grot. Public transport meltdown. Twickers railway station closed. Great Chertsey arterial road closed due to crowds walking in the road. 50,000 punters advised over the PA system to walk to Hounslow or Richmond. Good that we arranged a cab in advance. Big smile eh?
