Pros and cons please.
Had an op on my knee last year but it’s killing again when any significant walking is done
Cheers in advance

TOP TIP - save yourself the hassle and pain of a knee replacement op by only doing insignificant walking.

How old are you? My missus had one last year and it was pretty major, three months off work.

I’m 57. Going to the docs to see how the land lies but a replacement seems the next option

she had about 3 years of steriods injections and physiotherapy, before the actual operation.

Had keyhole last year. Unfortunately I’m on my feet all shift at work so it’s messed it up again. Hopefully retired your missus is better

Had a half-knee done almost 3yrs ago (inside knee only).
Pros - almost completely pain free, tho my other knee maybe takes my mind off it if I do anything too strenuous, the whole thing nowhere near as bad/serious as I expected. Took 6-9months to feel good, but instantly better than it was.

Cons - you need to start the rehab as early as you can, I left it 3weeks until the swelling had gone down & the muscle had deteriorated, to be honest it’s never got back to where it used to be (but that could be age too).

My other knee is “going”, & I’ll get it done without hesitation if it gets anywhere near as bad as the first one.
That was like instant Tourette’s when it went & stopped me dead - the tipping point was crossing a road when a bus came & I just resigned myself to being run over because I couldn’t move fast enough.

Had my right knee done January 2024, I was young to be having it done still being in my 40s, I’ll be totally honest, I really struggled with it initially, probably more to do with me being a soft twat more than anything.

Had it done under epidural and once that wore off I was a proper wimp for bending it, but that’s an absolute must to help your recovery.

I think because it’s a common operation it’s forgotten how drastic it is, I’m glad I was awake while I had it done but a gentle procedure it is not!

The kneeling thing is weird, it’s hard to avoid a bit of nerve damage so you get a bit of numbness but it’s nothing major.

Back to mountain biking, PT sessions and even the odd 5k now, I am glad I had it done now, I was in bits with the bastard before it was done.

Do as your told, do your rehab, make ice your best mate and you’ll soon be wondering what the fuss was about.

Good luck with it.

I am waiting to have mine done, but the kitchen fitter here today had his 10 months ago. He said it was much better, but dont neglect the physio after. He did and it has limited his movement.

I have got to the stage where I cant put it off any longer. It will be done in Spire through the NHS.

Ingot my hip done at private hozzy near Southport, through the NHS. Cured me of the ridiculous pain (well, a lot of it) I was in daily.
On the list for two knees....

Had both mine done, left knee 2019, right knee 2020. Both done on the NHS, all be it in a BUPA hospital (whittling down NHS waiting lists). The improvement has been life changing, no more pain, off the scale improvement in mobility. As long as you do your physio religiously you'll be fine. Only thing to be careful of is kneeling down. It's something you have to take gradually and get used to. In my surgeon's words "Until you get used to it, it feels like you're kneeling on ball bearings" And he was right but it does get better. Post op I had no pain, just minor discomfort and no driving for 6 weeks. Best of luck.

Two of my mates have had knee replacements recently (one 2 years ago, one in January this year). Both up and about within days, both pretty much pain-free within a month. Both say it was their best decision ever. Try to have it done at one of the outsourced places NHS uses like Renacres in Ormskirk or similar.
