Re: New Knee

I've just been reading through all the answers again - they're very interesting. I'm so sorry for those of you still in a lot of pain.
It was interesting about the massage and I'm going to start him on it. I do know massage is good for nerve damage and it can't do any harm.
Also for all the other advice & tips I thank you all.

My wife's just had a Hip replacement and for some reason we now keep meeting people who have had knee surgery, like a group of 7 men walking the canal on Friday who'd all had new knees and including one where I work and, although this is by no means an accurate sample, we've found about 50% have a bad experience!

The hip operation seems to have far less complications in general when you look it up on the internet.

That surprises me as I thought the opposite!

No help to you I'm afraid but it does seem people have more bad experiences to me than hips. stevmk2

Re: New Knee

You've talked about Botox not being used in a thread & yet you'd put some poison on your skin to soak through? Beats me where people get their ideas:-o
