Woo hoo had my 5 yr check up today -where the heck did that time go! All good with my tkr - perfect condition!

However! Left knee has arthritis, bakers cyst and torn cartalidge so going for MRI to check how much damage I done and then plan treatment!

Hi Ange,

Glad you are doing ok with your new knee that's nearly 5 years old. Need to get your left knee checked over by your OS do you think you will end up with a TKR on your left knee as well or just need a scope to clean out the knee!

Have a good weekend.

Hi Nick - Have to wait for MRI to see extent of damage first, at very least he thinks it will be a trim and debridement, just have to wait for the scan but he said it should be within 4 weeks.

My tkr knee is fab, I am having physio as have som scar tissue over knee cap which is causing pain when climbing stairs and bending my leg but not a mechanical prob thank goodness - next physio session not till after Wimbledon though as my physio is working there!

Wow quick date for MRI - 22/7/11 then back to OS on 6/7/11 his last ever appt at this hops before moving to the brand new Tunbridge Wells Hospital . Will be nice having op there.

[UK Girl !]

ah..............mri results - not torn cartalidge, arthritis and wafer thin cartalidge - OS said to call his secretary when I am ready to go ahead with the treatment - a PKR - total pants that but good thing is more good days than bad so not going there yet

So hopefully no posts here about it for a long time !

Hi Ange,

At least your MRI showed up some problems and suppose a PKR is better then a TKR, have you got a date yet for the surgery!

haha Nick would have preferred a torn cartalidge !

No surgery for me yet - will wait , as I said until the bad days outweigh the good days or more importantly if the TKR on my right knee starts to suffer!

[UK Girl !]

back on the waiting list to get the left knee cleaned up - bad days outweigh good !
