Thank you Rosen. 😊

Thank you soooo much for your wonderful message. 🙏🏻 I thank you and your wife for such supportive messages all the way through, it was people like you that helped me through and made me smile. 😊 I’m so pleased you have two good knees now and I hope you are making the most of them. Best wishes to the both of you. 😘

You will be absolutely fine Richard and I’m sending you lots of luck. 🍀🙏🏻

Thank you.

Do i take it your knee replacement experience, was the exception rather than the rule , you seem to have had a few unfortunate issues. I am 73, but have no illusions it’s not going to be easy. My hopes are by 3 months i should be on the up. Hopefully!

@@richarddickson3211 Yes, please don’t worry. My experience has been harder due to a condition called arthrofibrosis which means I produce too much scar tissue. I’m sure your goal of 3 months is achievable and I wish you all the luck. Please let me know how you get on.

Good luck Angela. 😊

Manipulation under Anaesthetic.

Good morning. I rented it from Phoenix Healthcare and I would recommend them, click on the link below. And good luck. 🤞🏻 www.phoenix-healthcare.co.uk/content/1/cpm-hire?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwztOwBhD7ARIsAPDKnkBXEuMQewKQFuKtjIIFWs68ewfovVkNiikv3a5kyLRtmJhVUGtnz4oaAiebEALw_wcB

Hi Donald. It sounds like you’ve done really well. 🙏🏻👏 I’m 3 years post op now and I’m still working hard!! There are many more videos on my channel about my journey. Thanks so much for your message.

Hi Jeff and thank you for reaching out. Please let me reassure you that it will be nowhere near as bad as you think. You will be under General Anaesthetic when they do the procedure and when you wake up, it’s like a miracle has happened and your knee will feel much looser than before. My biggest piece of advice is to hire a CPM machine as the challenge is to keep it moving to maintain the new range. It means you still need to do all your exercises but when you want to rest/relax you go on the CPM machine. Good luck and don’t hesitate to ask any further questions.

@@janeskneereplacementjourney I am having second thoughts about a MUA I don't want to go through weeks of pain and then more pain in PT. I am trying to push it at home it just gets so hard and tight. I do feel like it helps though.

Thank you!! ☺️

Thanks so much Cheryl. It sounds like you’re doing really well. Good luck with your procedure in a couple of weeks and the right knee. 🙏🏻🤞🏻☺️

Thank you both so much. You have supported me throughout and always sent such positive and amazing messages and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. 😊 I hope you are both well yourselves and thank you again for your support. 🤗😘

Wow, 2 years?!?! I really hope I get relief for two years. 🤞🏻 I had an accident in 2011 when I fractured my patella. I have also played tennis since the age of 8 so I had a lot of wear and tear so I thought a TKR would sort out all my problems. How wrong I was. It sounds like you are doing really well so keep going. 😊😘🙏🏻

I guess you saw my more recent vlog! It’s such a battle. 🥲🥰😘

Thank you so much. 🥰xx

Keep watching the videos as this was a while ago and my journey has taken many twists and turns since then. xx

Thank you Rosen.

Good morning, it’s lovely to hear from you. I’m so sorry to hear your second knee is giving you difficulties. You know I’ve had two MUAs and it’s really not as bad as you expect and the results are instant. My advice would be to hire a CPM machine immediately after the procedure to maintain the range of movement. Good luck and I’m here if you need me. 🙏🏻😊

Thank you Patricia, I hope you are doing well. 😊😘

Thank you Susan ☺️

Thank you so much Paula. 🙏🏻🥰😘

Thank you so much for your lovely message! 😊 Your messages have always been so wonderful and I thank you and your wife for your support. You are probably right, I could write a book with everything I have been through and learnt! I’m really sorry to hear your second replacement has been so much harder than your first and really hope it improves soon. If you need any advice, you know you can message me any time!! Take care and I’m sending all my best wishes to you and your wife. ☺️🙏🏻

I hear this a lot from people. The 2nd one isn't as good. Also with hip replacements. You would think we know what to expect and what to do it should be easier.

Oh it’s so lovely to hear from you Rita!! I totally agree that going down the stairs is so tough and I’m sorry to hear you’ve fallen. It does seem so different for everyone and I wish the rate of success was higher. I will try to keep the updates coming and please take care Rita. 😊🥰🙏🏻

Hi Malcolm. Thank you so much for your message and I’m sorry to hear you are feeling like this. I’ve had two MUAs. The first was 10 weeks after the knee replacement and the second was 10 months after the replacement. In my case my lack of movement is due to arthrofibrosis which is the build up of scar tissue. How long is it since your surgery and have you been offered a MUA?

@@janeskneereplacementjourney Jane 17 weeks post op and mua is now being discussed. The physio mentioned arthrofibrosis at our last appointment. I'm also diabetic and apparently diabetics are more prone to this wish I had known this before the op!

@@malcolmdickson7116 I totally agree Malcolm. It’s 2 and a half years since my replacement and it’s been a constant battle and I’m back in hospital on Thursday having radio frequency treatment on the nerves so I’m hoping to feel less pain. 🙏🏻🤞🏻 I would say go ahead with the MUA as it’s not anywhere near as bad as you think and it improves the range immediately. Hire a CPM machine for after the procedure to keep it moving and to keep the scar tissue away. Another thing which has really helped me is swimming and aqua aerobics. I wish you lots of luck and I’m here if I can help with any further questions you may have Malcolm. Take care.

Hi and thank you for your message! Unfortunately I still have pain and I have to constantly “manage” my life around my knee. If I do too much it hurts and if I do too little it hurts!! I find 3 aqua aerobic classes with a bit of swimming and walking is about right. I’m off the medication because I had radio frequency treatment in my spine to cut off the nerve but it is a short term fix. I had it done in March and I’m currently on the waitlist to have it done again. Most of the time I am able to walk without a limp though so I am grateful for that. 😊

@@janeskneereplacementjourney oh no sorry to hear that . I’m contemplating knee replacement my self. My problem is I lost the flexibility/ motion on my right knee so when I walk it doesn’t bends. It stays lock . It’s a crazy thing . But when I sit it does bend tho . Not all the way through tho. So I’m just watching videos of people journeys and it doesn’t really push me to want to get it done .. lol . Hope it works out for you . Best wishes to u 😊

Oh thank you so much for asking. I really should do an updated vlog but I’m out of practice now!! I’m happy to say I’m finally on a better path and managed to get off the morphine in March after having radio frequency treatment in my spine on the nerves going to my knee. I’m swimming and doing aqua aerobics 3 times a week which really helps and my range has improved to 3 - 100 and I’m happy with that. 😊 I would say I now have aching rather than draining pain and just take ibruprofen as and when I need. So all in all a much better situation for me and I hope you are well too. 🙏🏻 Thanks again and take care. 😊😚

@@janeskneereplacementjourney so glad to know you are getting better, you are such a nice lady and you deserve a happy life. Keep on the good work and be happy always. God bless you.

@@lj9093 Thank you so much, that means the world. 😊😘

Hi Deborah. Thanks so much for getting in touch!! Yes the loss of appetite is definitely a thing which I think was down to the medication. I’m almost two and a half years post op now and I’ve only been off the pain killers since March!! I’m sure you are over the worst bit now so persevere and take every day as it comes. Good luck and take care. 😘

@@janeskneereplacementjourney Thanks, that gives me hope. ❤️

Hi and thank you for you question. I just had a very basic one like this. …. www.amazon.co.uk/AGM-Exerciser-Adjustable-Resistance-Training/dp/B07HCD37WJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?adgrpid=126324798868&hvadid=498402496986&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9044988&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=1061794470338086313&hvtargid=kwd-296291735459&hydadcr=14114_1722346&keywords=mini+pedal+exerciser&qid=1687029597&sr=8-4

Hi Cheryl, so lovely to hear from you! It’s great to hear you are pain free and you’ve done the right thing waiting to have your other knee done. Stairs and stiffness are still a problem for me and I’m not lucky enough to say I’m pain free. I had nerve block treatment in March which has helped take some of the pain away but the problem with living in London is it’s cold and my knee hates it!! I’ve just recently been to Thailand and my knee was so much better there I think I need to emigrate!! The only thing I can suggest Cheryl is this superdose collagen : collagensuperdose.com/uk_uk/superdose-joint?gclid=CjwKCAjwuqiiBhBtEiwATgvixNfogx_jMyQEEw0o9_f1rAFnB6hgwOvIuDjn72Mx7lalp9sPKv7ehhoCgPgQAvD_BwE I definitely feel it helps with stiffness so maybe it’s worth a try. I wish you the best of luck for the next one and please let me know how it goes. 😘

Wow, it sounds like you’re really going through it. Good luck for the replacement next month and don’t let my problems worry you, I’ve just been unlucky to have arthrofibrosis. Listen to the physios and I’m sure you’re going to do well. Take care. 🙏🏻

@@janeskneereplacementjourney Hey Jane, your journey has only mirrored mine 🪞. If anything it is giving me the encouragement to know I'm not the only one going through so much at once. I hope you will feel 💯 again soon 😊🤗🌺

@@toryberch thanks so much Tory. I really hope your surgery goes well. 😊🙏🏻

Hey Rita, it’s so good to hear from you!! 😊 I’ve said I’m going to post an update but never seem to get round to it!! Can you believe it’s almost 2 years??!! I’m happy with my improvement but continue to get pain. 😩 I have joined a gym and do 3 swims and 3 aqua aerobics sessions every week so I’m building the muscle which really helps and I would say my ROM is now 3 - 100 degrees which is amazing. I’m still on the Buprenorphine patches and Amitriptyline but the pain never goes away. I’m so happy that your pain has subsided a bit but I didn’t like the thought of it snapping!! 🙈 That must have been scary Rita and shame it didn’t improve the bend. I still find going down stairs the hardest thing to do. My pain doctor still wants to do the radio frequency treatment to my nerves so I’m back on the list for that but if it turns out my pain is mechanical, it’s not going to make any difference. I’ll be thinking of you on the 26th and thanks again for your message, we must never stop updating each other!! Take care. ❤️xx

Dear Kathryn. Thank you so much for your message, this is exactly why I made this channel as it gives me so much pleasure to know I am helping you in some way. Please don’t feel like you’re on your own because you’re not. I can identify exactly what you are feeling and I really want to reassure you that MUAs aren’t nearly as bad as you think and your knee will feel much looser by dinner time on the 28th, the results are instant. My problem was keeping the ROM after the MUA and I really recommend hiring a CPM machine to help with that. Pain management is so important and the lack of sleep makes everything feel so much worse so I used to give up, get up and do some exercises and then try to sleep again. It used to help clear my mind and I also used to treat myself to tea and biscuits so that I could take more painkillers. It must be so incredibly hard when you have two small kids so I really hope you have lots of family support. 🙏🏻 I promise things will get better for you but you have to put in the hard work. Since my holiday in Greece I now swim 3 times a week and do 2 aqua aerobics 45 min sessions which are really helping but I have been fighting this battle for a long time so I hope your situation improves quickly. 🤞🏻 Try not to let the worry of the MUA ruin your Christmas because you’re going to be fine (if you haven’t already, watch my blogs on my MUAs) and make the most of Christmas with your little ones. Please keep in touch and I’m always here if you need me. Please take care xx

Hi, thanks for your message. If you mean the pain after the TKR, yes!! The first couple of weeks is a blur because you’re on so many painkillers, I was feeling sick too and had very little movement so trying to do any exercises is very hard. 😖 If you mean after the MUA it wasn’t bad at all. My knee felt so much looser and I instantly had more movement. I expected a lot of bruising and pain but there really wasn’t any. I hope this helps and good luck if you are about to have a knee op! 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Thank you Pauline. 😊😘

Thank you so much Cheryl. I’m so happy for you too and well done for returning to work. You are very brave to consider going through it again so soon and I wish you all the best. 😊😘

Thank you so much. 😊😘

Thank you so much Rita. I’m looking into where I can go to do aqua aerobics as I definitely feel it helps so much. I hope you are well too. Take care. 😊😘🥰xx

Thanks so much Paula. 😊😘xx
