I posted this in the Knee Arthritis section three weeks ago and got no replies so I'm posting agian in this section. I have had some improvement but could really do with some encouragement and tips. Anyone?
I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees. I can only walk short distances before I have to sit down because of the pain. I'm 58 and it is getting progressively worse. I have had a pretty physical life and want to continue it. I am scheduled to have TKR at the end of January on my right knee and am pretty scared. Just recently I have had some Healing and there does seem to be some improvement. Can I ask if anyone on this forum has any experience of this? Is it reasonable to hope/expect a real cure? I can do visualisations/positive thinking/good feelings, call it what you will and am willing to put in the time to this effect. I'd really like to avoid the surgery if possible but also want a full life, I'm an outdorsey sort of person. I have kind of given myself until the end of the year to see some REAL improvement, failing that I will have the TKR. Any and all advice greatly received. Thanks.
