Felt his diagnosis was thorough and explained my options.Advised me to try the injections first but as it only eased the pain for a month and the knee was so bad advised the replacement but said if I didn’t want the op would discuss the options.I went for the replacement as it was getting more painful. The operation went well and I was off my crutches within a few weeks.with the help of physio advice I was soon walking and getting around normally in the day.The nights however I still have a lot of pain and stiffness as my knee locks in the one position.It was explained this was due to hip muscles needing to build up but it would improve.I was given an exercise to improve this. You have to be strict with the exercises and it is painful.I think it would be helpful if you could go to a group class at least once a week for encouragement so you feel your doing things right and are on the right path.The physios are great and explained everything you have to do but then you don’t go back for a month and you are unsure if your doing things right or progressing well enough.
