Anyone had one? and what did you experience?
I had one 2 months ago, had been told third hand by about a dozen people that this was the best thing they had ever done.
I'd been back and forward having arthroscopes and 2 years ago had tibial osteotomy, where they cut the bone in the leg to realign everything.
This, I was told, was 2nd most painful to a knee replacement, must be 2nd by the length of Flemington straight.
Numerous times , after 2, 3 4, 5 weeks I thought Yep, things are on the improve only to get a different pain to the previous week with the last the worst as it randomly sent fireworks through my knee. This lasted 10 or so days.
I spent weeks 2 - 7 on the lounge as I could not get comfortable and averaging 3 hours a night sleep
Had they asked me a fortnight in that we can do the other in 6 months I'd have told them to shove it.
2 months in the pain is very bearable but has it's moments
I can straighten the leg about 95% and bend about 85% but still have a little swelling
They say it can take up to 12 months
