Avatar f tn I had bilateral knee replacement done in 2008. I went through the operation with no pain. Now, it's a different story. I have jolts of muscle and tendon pain. By that, I mean, if I take a step I get a jolt, which sometimes throws me forward. Sometimes, when I am walking I get a spasm of pain, then it will go away. I do not have constant pain. My walking is not very straight. Anyone with this kind of problem?
Avatar n tn Hope this gives you a perspective what is generally expected from a prior valve operation. At 33 years old you may have a faster recovery time, but I don't believe experiencing your symptoms after two weeks is unexpected, but you may want to contact your doctor to be safe. Thanks for your question, and I wish you well going forward.
Avatar n tn //www.healthline.com/surgery/total-knee-replacement/costs In any case, I would confront your doctor about your feelings and the pain you're experience, or if worse comes to worse, ask for a second opinion if you don't think he's doing what he should be doing. Good luck Jazie06.

159619 tn?1707018272 My insurance company has recommended that he try repairing the meniscus issues first and if that fails they will authorize the knee replacement. I am a 50 year old male and the insurance company would prefer to put off the knee replacement for at least 5 years to keep from doing it twice. I have a couple of questions, first is the insurance company being reasonable? My Orthopedic reluctantly agrees with them.

Avatar m tn Hello, I have had 3 arthroscopies on my left knee to repair my lateral horn meniscus in September 2009, January 2014 and March 2015. Each time after the operation and recovery my knee begins to feel good and strong again. After 1 and a half year since my last operation my knee has felt great, however 5 days ago I squatted down (asian squat toilet), and instantly knew I had torn the cartilage again. Since this moment my left knee has a constant ache/throb.
Avatar f tn m only 46) and having some other health issues (lupus, fibromyalgia, asthma), he would strongly suggest going with a total knee FUSION as opposed to a total knee REPLACEMENT. He said that because I am relatively young (although I don't feel young most days) and have the autimmune problems, there is an increased chance that a knee replacement would not last very long for me and would have to be done at least one more time, if not several times.
Avatar m tn My initial recovery from the left knee replacement was excellent. I was walking without a cane within 7 days, and no longer needed any medication stronger than ibupuprofen. I had six weeks of in home physiotherapy that I performed religiously on my own on the days that the physiotherapist was not present. I supplemented the physio with strength training in my exercise room downstairs.
Avatar f tn My first knee replacement was in 2002. Second one was in 2003 (on the other knee). For a number of years now I have had pain in my "knees". Even the tissue surrounding them. I've noticed that I can hear the prosthesis move when I move my leg. I swing my legs and they make a funny noise. Today I went to an orthopaedic surgeon about another (unrelated) problem and asked him about the pain in my knees.
