Knee Surgery???

February 1, 2012 by Kathi   Comments (0)

I have severe osteoarthritis in my right knee and the 2nd orthopedic doctor I've seen has said I really need a total knee replacement. The problem is that this is on my GOOD side since my bad NMO weakness and spasticity is on my left side. I don't think I could do the rehab, plus who knws hat major surgery would do to my NMO.

So now I decided to get some intense PT for my knee (most painful PT I"ve ever had) and work with the therapist to see what she thinks about surgery. Of course, I'd consult with my neuro, etc. and pray for wisdom.

Anyone here have any experiences with arthritic knees or surgeries or anything else that might be helpful. Thanks for your responses. Kathi
